Main Match Prediction
We are confident about backing Mexico to win at +125, with the latest xG data and underlying stats supporting our pick. Home advantage is another key factor and we expect the co-hosts to beat an Ecuador side that failed to get the better of Curacao in the group stage.
Ecuador did beat Germany in their must-win final group game, but that victory came against a side that had already secured top spot and had little to play for.
Key stats supporting our main match prediction (competitive matches):
We study the World Cup form as a first port of call and also make sure we’re across any injuries before making our football predictions. Then it’s a case of understanding the sort of narrative that the stats provide.
According to the top bookies, our pick has a 44.4% chance of landing a return. In our opinion, there’s actually a probability of success closer to 50%. This is why we can recommend this bet.
There are some different ways to back Mexico if you’re in search of a bigger potential return. This includes the Asian Handicap where they have to win by a certain margin.

Ecuador
A 1-0 win in favor of Mexico can be backed at odds of +440. We like placing a bet on correct score due to the fun element and the big potential return.
Player Prop Picks
Gonzalo Plata (Ecuador) has chalked up one or more shots on goal in three consecutive matches. We think this could be a telling statistic and we’ll back him to cover the Shots on Target line which is available at odds of -114.
Raúl Jiménez (Mexico) can be wagered to be among the goals at +220. We believe this is the best of the player props, with healthy odds available when it comes to betting him to score at any time.

Corners Prediction
We’ve not seen the 7.5 Total Corners line covered in three consecutive Mexico games. We’re expecting the teams to fall short of the line, with this Total Corners wager available at -100.

We recommend a bet builder as it’s an exciting way of wagering on a football match. You’re able to forecast various outcomes, with the odds increasing each time before going ahead and placing this wager.
Mexico vs Ecuador Odds
The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.
You can secure betting odds of +132 when it comes to Mexico claiming a World Cup win and the bookmakers have Ecuador on offer at +290. For those wishing to back the draw, it’s available at +175.
If Mexico and Ecuador play out a draw, then an Asian Handicap -0.25 on the former means a half stake refund. However, a victory for the favourites would mean a full payout at -112.
The Total Goals odds suggest that Under 2.5 is the likelier outcome in this contest. A different angle is going for a BTTS wager and there’s -179 available for Both Teams to Score No.
The top football betting sites provide hundreds of markets for the latest World Cup matches. Be sure to peruse all of the available options before going ahead with your preferred wager.
Favourite Raúl Jiménez is available at +450 to be the First Goalscorer. Similar odds apply if you’re interested in him to score the last goal.
