USA U20 vs Ecuador U20 Predictions

The United States caused the shock of the round at the Under 20 World Cup, even possibly the shock of the tournament. They were able to dump out favourites France, a side aiming to build on the senior side’s 2018 World Cup success. That was a tournament which the US missed out on, but judging by results here the future is certainly bright for the next batch of players. However, will the Americans have even more to shout about come the end of Saturday’s meeting with Ecuador?

The USA know that they can match their best ever performance at this tournament. The 1989 side made the semis in Saudi Arabia, but this team could go even further. A victory on Saturday would guarantee a fourth-place finish at least, matching the team from 30 years ago. It’s a boost to the men’s senior team, which should be competing at the top of the world game given their resources. In another few days, their under 20 side may well live up to that expectation.

Ecuador are another side who are in good shape, given that they won the South American Youth Championship earlier this year. It was another strong run from their side in that tournament, as they’d been runners-up in 2017. However, this World Cup run is more of a rarity. Ecuador had never made it past the last 16 at this tournament, going out in the group stage in South Korea two years ago. Can they book a first-ever semi-final place at this tournament?

The USA are the reigning North American champions, so we’ve got a pan-American championship in Poland this weekend. It’s going to be a real test for both sides, who are each coming off big wins in the last round. While the USA beat France 3-2, Ecuador beat South American rivals Uruguay 3-1. Both sides are capable going forward, but can they build upon their good results so far in this clash?

The USA come into this game having scored seven times in four games, while Ecuador are stepping up their game going forward. The United States have seen both teams score in five of their last seven matches in all competitions, while Ecuador are now carrying a goal threat which should scare the USA. With that in mind, both teams to score is our tip for this clash.
