In the most evenly matched Copa America quarter-final, the United States will face Ecuador on Thursday at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field.

The Americans are small +160 betting favorites (bet $100 to win $160) on the three-way line at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark. They ended up winning Group A when Colombia lost 3-2 to Costa Rica on Saturday after they edged Paraguay thanks to a goal by Clint Dempsey.

After a 0-0 tie against Brazil in their Copa America opener on June 4, Ecuador finished in a 2-2 deadlock with Group B winner Peru on June 8 before routing Haiti 4-0 on Sunday. Ecuador outshot Haiti 22-8 overall, including 10-3 on target, with Enner Valencia scoring first in each of the team’s last two games.

The win for the Americans over Ecuador last month was only their third versus a South American team in 21 games behind Darlington Nagbe’s first-ever international goal. History says it will be difficult for them to repeat that feat, though, with 14 losses and four draws resulting from the other 18 games against squads from that ...
