Starting with Ecuador, never making it past the Round of 16 in their World Cup history, Ecuador open proceedings this month with their sights set on shattering plenty of records in North America. Last seen picking up some ideal momentum as they secured a 2-1 victory against Saudi Arabia, Sebastian Beccacece’s side have gained a reputation for their largely rugged approach. Signing off 2025 with a 2-0 win against New Zealand, the former Elche boss has not seen his squad are unbeaten in all of their previous 18 straight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to a 1-0 victory against South American icons Brazil in September 2024. Officially getting their World Cup charge underway on June 15th when they meet the Ivory Coast in Philadelphia, Ecuador will also be excited by their defensive grit. In fact, La Tricolor have not conceded more than a single strike across any format over the past two years.

As for the visitors, suffering major World Cup qualifying heartbreak last year as they missed out on the chance to make a famous maiden appearance on the grandest of stages, Guatemala are suddenly at the heart of a public crisis. Last seen earlier in the week falling to a routine 3-1 loss against the Czech Republic, Luis Fernando Tena’s side should be bracing themselves for another monumental challenge when they travel to Ohio on Sunday. Signing off March’s international break with a woeful 7-0 drumming at the hands of Algeria, the Chapines have lost their last three consecutive appearances by an aggregate score of 11-1. Showing some glaring defensive issues since opening up 2026, Guatemala are rightfully installed as a major underdog here. It should also be highlighted, Tena’s side have lost each of their three historic meetings against Ecuador by a 2-0 scoreline.
