Italy vs Ecuador Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Ian John in Football Predictions
Italy face Ecuador at the Red Bull Stadium in New York on Sunday night (8pm kick off). The Italians came through a tight qualifying campaign to qualify a distant second to England in their group but qualified for the finals in Germany through that. The holders of that tournament have not been in the best of form and manager Luciano Spalletti has had to oversee a new influx of players coming in to replace a number of veterans in key positions. The manager has also chastised his players for their 'addiction' to playing PlayStation games ahead of key games for the Azzuri. They defeated Venezuela 2-1 in Fort Lauderdale prior to this game where they will face an Ecuador team who are in a rich vein of form and sure to give the Italian side a real test.
Ecuador have just one defeat in their last ten games, and that came away to World Champions Argentina by a narrow 1-0 scoreline. They sit 5th in the World Cup Qualifying table for CONMEBOL, ahead of Brazil and with just one defeat in their six games. If they have an issue, it is with scoring goals as they have scored just five in their six games so far, but defensively they are very strong conceding just three goals in total in their qualifying games, only Argentina have conceded fewer. Their last 20 games has seen a total of 8 draws, six of which have been by a 0-0 scoreline, the other two by a 1-1 scoreline. In 13 of those games, one or both teams have failed to score.

- Italy come into this game after a 2-1 win over Venezuela at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Mateo Retegui (40,80) scored both their goals. It means Italy are unbeaten in their last three games and have lost just one of their last eight games in all competitions.

Our Italy vs Ecuador Prediction
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
