Copa America: How to watch Uruguay vs Ecuador live on June 16

Topics: TV Schedules, TV Listings, Copa America, Uruguay, Ecuador

Uruguay's quest for a record 16th Copa America title will begin with a test against Ecuador.

What is the form of Uruguay as compared to Ecuador?

Uruguay approaches the upcoming clash on the back of three successive international friendly wins. Prior to that, La Celeste was on a four-game winless run.

It has been a somewhat slippery-slop ride for Oscar Tabarez's side who have recorded five wins and five defeats in its last 10 matches. Nonetheless, Uruguay's form at the 2018 FIFA World Cup prior to the quarter-final elimination suggests that it can deliver when the stakes are high.

On the contrary, Ecuador is without a win in its last four outings. Over the last 10 matches, La Tricolor has four, drew three and lost three.

Team news: Who is injured or suspended for Uruguay vs Ecuador?

There are no injuries and suspensions in both camps at the moment.

Player to watch in Uruguay vs Ecuador:

Maximiliano Gomez

While Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez are expected to lead raids for Uruguay with their lethal attacking partnership, Maxi Gomez is one player who could set the upcoming tournament ablaze. The 22-year-old striker earned a deserved call-up after his goals gave Celta Vigo a lifeline to continue in La Liga next season having been on the brink of relegation.

The former Defensor Sporting prospect scored 13 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions. Maxi Gomez's inclusion has also yielded dividends for La Celeste as he has grabbed a goal in each of their last two matches.

Cavani and Suarez may already be in the spotlight but should he get some minutes, Celta's main man will cause a lot of heads to turn.

What is the head to head record of Uruguay vs Ecuador?

There has been 47 matches played between Uruguay and Ecuador so far. The former has dominated with 30 wins and has lost on just six occasions. There have been 11 draws in all. The last meeting between the two South American countries was in November 2016. La Celeste run off with a 2-1 victory, thanks to Sebastian Coates and Diego Rolan's goals canceling out Felipe Caicedo's strike.
