At Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the teams of Ecuador and Venezuela will make their debut in the 48th edition of the Copa America, as part of the first date of Group B of the continental competition that takes place in the United States. The date is this Saturday, June 22. Check in this article the schedules by country, where to watch the match on TV and Streaming, and all the details of the protagonists.
Ecuador and Venezuela will open Group B of the Copa America in search of a mutual dream for both teams. Neither La Tri nor La Vinotinto know what it means to win the continental title and they start the tournament with the illusion of making a splash. Therefore, in an even group, with Mexico and Jamaica completing the four places, both the teams coached by Spain’s Felix Sanchez and Argentina’s Fernando Batista will be looking for three vital points for the development of the competition.

How Ecuador and Venezuela arrive at the Copa America match?
The Tri, coached by Spaniard Felix Sanchez Bas, had three preparation matches: the first one against the last world champions, Argentina, in a duel played in Chicago and won by 1-0; the second game was against another South American team, Bolivia, which they easily defeated by 3-1; the last match was against Honduras, which they overcame with a fair 2-1, as they failed a lot in the definition.
The Vinotinto, which has been doing well in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, is in fourth place in the direct qualification places. It did not have any preparatory matches for this Copa América, by decision of coach Fernando Batista, who wanted to have more time to concentrate and work with the team.
How is the record between Venezuela vs. Ecuador in Copa América?
Only 4 times Venezuela and Ecuador have played each other in Copa América. And in this brief history the balance is also very tight with 2 wins for La Tri, one for La Vinotinto and a draw.
Date 3 of Group B in Brazil 2021 is the immediate antecedent between the two. In a more than exciting match, a 2-2 draw was recorded in which Ayrton Preciado and Gonzalo Plata scored for Ecuador, while Edson Castillo and Ronald Hernandez scored for Venezuela.
