LiontipsVenezuela vs Ecuador. Prediction and Betting Tips for Copa America
Command Analysis
Venezuelafound themself in a very difficult position before the start of Copa America - Jose Peseiro could not count on most of the main team because 12 players tested positive for coronavirus. The manager had to experiment with the lineup, and the first opponent of the Venezuelan team took advantage of that: Venezuela lost 0:3 to Brazil.
In the second game, the Venezuelan national team earned the first point at the tournament in a goalless draw with Colombia.
The national team of Ecuador is extremely out of form. Gustavo Alfaro's team lost two World Cup qualification games to Peru (0:1) and Brazil (0:2). In the opening match of Copa America, Ecuador faced Colombia, losing with a score of 0:1 in Cuiaba. This puts them in the second last place in the group.

Tip and bets
Venezuela have to experiment with the lineup because most of their key players are out for various reasons, including coronavirus. The Venezuelans are betting on defense and it paid off in the game against Colombia, but today this approach may not work. Ecuador have a creative line of attack, they are motivated by a defeat in the first round, and they will strive to score three points.
Our prediction - Ecuador to win.
Venezuela build their game exclusively on defense, and we doubt that they will change their style today. Ecuador have high-quality attacking players in the roster, but they will need a lot of time to open up the opponents' defense, so we don't expect many goals.
The second bet - total under 2.5 goals.
