His influence on the game is clear, earning him man-of-the-match honors in four of those outings. Against Ecuador, a team that may sit deep and struggle to contain the U.S.\u2019s pace and movement on the flanks, Pulisic looks well-placed to make an impact once again. Backing him to score or assist at any time offers solid value, as he is likely to be at the heart of most attacking plays and could be the difference-maker in a tight international friendly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Ecuador to Win &#038; BTTS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"\/en\/go\/smarkets?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\">6\/1 @ SBK<\/a><br>(14.3%)<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ecuador have been tough to break down under Sebastian Beccacece, who has overseen just one defeat in his 12 games in charge and guided the team to five wins.

The Stars and Stripes have alternated fortunes in recent friendlies, cruising past Japan 2-0 before losing by the same scoreline to South Korea. Despite the inconsistency, the U.S. hold the upper hand historically against Ecuador, having won the last three encounters and remaining unbeaten in four straight head-to-head clashes. Overall, the teams are evenly matched over 15 meetings, each claiming five victories with five draws, making this friendly an open contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecuador, under Sebastian Beccacece, have carved out a disciplined identity since his appointment just over a month before Pochettino\u2019s U.S. debut. The Argentine has guided La Tri to five wins in 12 matches with just a single defeat, blending defensive rigidity with selective attacking freedom. His team has conceded only two goals under his tenure, showing that Ecuador will be tough to break down while still capable of posing a threat on the counter. With both sides bringing contrasting approaches, Friday\u2019s friendly is shaping up to be a tightly contested battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-usa-team-news\">USA team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino has named a strong U.S. squad for this international window, signalling his intent to build momentum ahead of next year\u2019s World Cup. Christian Pulisic, fresh off a superb run of form with AC Milan, headlines the group and will once again be the creative spark in attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weston McKennie and Antonee Robinson also return to provide experience and balance, while Haji Wright and Aidan Morris have both been handed opportunities to stake their claim for a World Cup spot. Pochettino\u2019s selections suggest he\u2019s looking to blend proven quality with emerging talent, using these friendlies to fine-tune his strongest possible lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ecuador-team-news\">Ecuador team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecuador will travel to the United States missing a few key names, most notably Moises Caicedo, who has been granted a rest period by Chelsea. Piero Hincapi\u00e9 and Gonzalo Plata are also absent, leaving the visitors slightly lighter in both defence and attack. Even so, Willian Pacho and Pervis Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n remain in the squad and are expected to form part of a sturdy back line that has become a hallmark of Ecuador\u2019s play under Sebastian Beccacece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head-last-5-meetings\">Head to head: Last 5 meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">21\/03\/2019<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USA 1-0 Ecuador<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friendly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16\/06\/2016<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USA 2-1 Ecuador<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Copa America<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">25\/05\/2016<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USA 1-0 Ecuador<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friendly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/10\/2014<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USA 1-1 Ecuador<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friendly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">11\/10\/2011<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">USA 0-1 Ecuador<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Friendly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Friendlies can often be low scoring affairs but with both teams wanting to lay down markers for the World Cup next summer, this could be a more entertaining contest.
