Ecuador Team News
Ecuador is one pleasant surprise in this World Cup. They beat Qatar on opening day and won a point against the Netherlands in the second round in a game where they were a much better team.
Ecuador only once in its history played in the knockout stage of the World Cup. That was in 2006 in Germany. Now, they have a fantastic opportunity because they only need a point from the game against Senegal.
They are in the run of nine-game without a defeat in all competitions and suffered only one defeat since October last year. It was against Paraguay in March.
An interesting stat is that Ecuador conceded only one goal in the last seven games and it was against the Netherlands. Enner Valencia scored all three of Ecuador’s goals and he is currently World Cup’s top scorer (Kylian Mbappe also has three goals) but he is questionable for the game against Senegal and that is a potential problem for Gustavo Alfaro. Ecuador doesn’t score that many goals. In the previous 13 games in all competitions, they scored only once more than 1.5 goals – in the first round against Qatar.
Senegal Team News
Senegal suffered a major blow when it was announced that Sadio Mane will miss the World Cup. They came to this World Cup without their best player.
Even without Mane, Senegal played two good games. They suffered a defeat against the Netherlands but they beat Qatar in the second round and now they still have chances to go into the knockout phase.
Senegal must beat Ecuador if they want a place in the knockout stage. With a defeat or even a draw, they are eliminated. This is their 3rd World Cup and in the previous one in Russia, they were eliminated in the group stage.
With their attack, Senegal can cause problems for any team but we saw in the first two games that they are struggling with defense. In the last 10 games in all competitions, they kept only three clean sheets.
H2H
They never play before.
Team News and Injuries
Ecuador: Enner Valencia is questionable.
Senegal: No fresh injuries.
Ecuador vs. Senegal Prediction
The stake is huge. Ecuador must escape defeat in this game if they want a place in the knockout stage and Senegal must win. Only with three points they can to the next round.
Both teams showed us that they can play good football and we expect one very open and interesting game.
Our prediction will be that both teams will score at least one goal at Khalifa International Stadium.
