Buoyed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over Venezuela, Italy will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Ecuador at Red Bull Arena.
Genoa attacker Mateo Retegui should keep his place up front after scoring a brace against La Vinotinto, while all Jorginho, Nicolo Barella, and Nicolo Zaniolo should be recalled to the starting XI.
La Tri, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Guatemala, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Luciano Spalletti’s troops.
The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in New Jersey.
As for the nominal visitors, experienced forward Enner Valencia has been omitted, while No. 10 Gonzalo Plata is pushing for a start after sealing the victory against Guatemala on Friday morning.
This match will be played on 24/03/2024 at 21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Recommended Pick: Italy to Win or Draw (1X).
