Australia takes on Ecuador at the Wonder Arena in the second of their booked amicable twofold header on Tuesday (Walk 28). On Friday, March 24, at the CommBank Stadium, Graham Arnold’s team will attempt to pick up where they left off. In their first game since the beginning of the year, the Socceroos beat the visitors 3-1 to get back to winning ways.
The last time Arnold’s team played was on December 3, when they lost to Argentina 2-1 in the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Since losing 2-0 to Japan in March 2022, Australia has won their last four games at home, scoring six goals and keeping two clean sheets.
In the meantime, Ecuador has lost twice in its last three competitive matches. Enner Valencia scored twice in the first half to give La Tri their last victory on November 20 when they defeated Qatar 2-0 in the opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Since their 1-0 victory over Cape Verde in June, Ecuador has drawn three of their four friendlies.

Australia vs Ecuador Prediction :
After losing to Australia last week, Ecuador will try to win. However, the Socceroos should breeze to a second victory in a row over Sanchez’s men because they have the advantage of playing at home.
Prediction: Australia 2-0 Ecuador
Australia vs Ecuador Head to head :
This will be Australia and Ecuador’s third meeting. La Tri won their first meeting in March 2014 at the New Den Stadium, winning 4-3. Jackson Irvine, Awer Mabil, and teen sensation Garang Kuol scored goals for Australia on Friday, resulting in a 3-1 victory.
Since June of last year, the hosts have won their last four friendlies, scoring eight goals and conceding twice. Felix Sanchez’s side is winless in three games across contests and has won only one of their last eight away trips.
Australia vs Ecuador Team news :
Arnold may give Kuol, who was born in Egypt and just turned 18 in September, a start on the left flank after he scored off the bench in the 3-1 win on Friday. That could mean that the youngster takes Craig Goodwin’s place, and players like Nathaniel Atkinson, Bailey Wright, and Riley McGree hope to get some playing time after being used as substitutes last time out.
However, Brighton & Hove Albion stars Moises Caicedo and Pervis Estupinan are unlikely to return for a second 90-minute match. Ecuador, on the other hand, may request a starting lineup that is comparable to Ecuador’s to show that their defeat was undeserved.
After coming off the bench in the previous match, Kevin Rodriguez and Alexander Alvarado will want to add to their four caps, but they may need to be patient once more because Sanchez wants to win for the first time in his new role.
