Brazil national team face Ecuador in the starting match of Copa America 2016. The match will be played at Rose Bowl Stadium on Sunday, June 5th.
Pentacampeones are on six-match undefeated streak. The team have won three of them and recorded draws in another three matches with 13 goals scored and six allowed. However, Brazil disappoint in major competitions recently. We can recall 1-7 loss to Germany and 0-3 loss to the Netherlands in home World Cup. Last year Copa America for Brazil ended in the quarterfinal after Paraguay beaten them on penalties. The last time Brazil won match over a strong side was over a year ago when they defeated France 3-1. However, Brazil will be one of the title contenders regardless of their current conditions.

Ecuador have a solid start of qualification campaign for the World Cup 2018. The team has 13 points after six matches with 12-7aggregate goal difference. Ecuador are currently second in the standings. On the other hand, the team fails to win in 2016, drawing their match with Paraguay, 2-2, and losing twice to Colombia, 1-3 and to USA, 0-1. Upcoming competition will prove are these problems are temporary or the team has lost their balance.
Brazil and Ecuador face one another quite often and, of course, Brazil have advantage in the head-to-head record between the opponent. The last time Ecuador won their clash with Brazil back in November 2004, 1-0. Six matches since then ended with five wins of pentacampeones with 14-4 aggregate goal score. We can expect Brazil to extend this run of successful results in matches with Ecuador and record another victory.
Prediction for the match: Brazil to win.
