Prediction: Ecuador 0-1 Qatar
Ecuador is a good team that is participating in the Copa America tournament. In the last edition, they had played really well and put their mark in the tournament. They have few good players in the team and entirely they have had a balanced team altogether and they have a good chance of winning against Qatar. They have some good players like Marcos Caicedo, Joao Rojas, Romario Ibarra and so on.
On the other hand, Qatar is also a tough team that has been participating in Copa for a couple of times as they are the winner of the Asia Cup and also the reason behind they got invited to play in Copa America 2020. They have few good players in the team that makes it a balanced team but their attacking is quite good with Ismael Mohammed, Ahmed Alaaeldin, Almoez Ali, Mohammed Muntari.
In my opinion, Qatar is probably going to win the match against Ecuador by 1-0, in this Wednesday on Copa America 2020.
