Matches- Group B
Ecuador v Haiti (6:30 PM ET)
Brazil v Peru (8:30 PM ET)
Current Group B Table
This is the table of Group B before today's matches.
Ecuador v Haiti
Ecuador needs to win. And they can very likely do this. They held Brazil to a scoreless draw, and overcame a 2-0 deficit to Peru and almost won the match. Haiti on the other hand does not look like a team capable of performing. They have lost both matches by a combined score of 8-1, including a 7-1 thrashing by Brazil. Haiti is already eliminated from the tournament, so they are only playing for pride. I believe Ecuador will come out strong, knowing a win by 2 goals or more clinches their knockout round spot.
Prediction: Ecuador wins 3-0
Brazil v Peru
This match is between the two teams at the top of the table. However, most likely only one of these teams can advance to the knockout round as Ecuador will most likely win by 2 or more against Haiti. So, if Brazil wins or the match is a draw, Brazil wins the group, but if Peru wins, they top the group instead. Brazil are the clear favorites here, and will be playing with confidence following a 7-1 win over Haiti. Peru almost blew a 2-0 lead to Ecuador in the last match but held on to get a draw. Peru has had a good run, but unfortunately, it will probably come to an end here.
Prediction: Brazil wins 2-0
