Argentina easily topped Group A with three victories and are expected to challenge for the trophy once again.

Defending champions Argentina resume their quest to repeat for the fifth time when they face Ecuador on Thursday in the quarterfinals of Copa America 2024 at NRG Stadium in Houston. Argentina won back-to-back titles in the tournament for the first time in 1927 and 1929 and most recently accomplished the feat in 1991 and 1993. They defeated Brazil in 2021 to capture the championship for the 15th overall time, tying Uruguay for most in the competition’s history. The Argentines hope to regain the services of superstar Lionel Messi, who missed the group-stage finale against Peru with hamstring issues. Ecuador, who have reached the quarterfinals for the third time in the last four editions, hope to avenge their 3-0 loss to the Argentinians three years ago in this round.
Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. The Argentinians are -250 favorites (risk $250 to win $100) in the latest Argentina vs. Ecuador odds, while the Ecuadorians are +950 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +320 and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5. Argentina are -750 to advance, while Ecuador are +490.
