Ecuador Team News & Stats
Terrible, terrible Ecuador couldn’t beat Curacao, which eventually held on to a goalless tie. That’s why La Tri now has to beat Germany and hope to finish among the 8 third-placed teams.
Ecuador couldn’t score a single goal in 180 minutes, which is the main reason why this team is in trouble. It had 27 shots, 15 on target against Curacao, yet there was no goal.
Likely Lineup: Galindez; Franco, Pacho, Ordonez, Hincapie; Yeboah, Caicedo, Vite, Angulo; Valencia, Plata
Germany Team News & Stats
The Germans secured the top seed in the group after beating the Ivory Coast 2-1, with Undav’s stoppage-time goals ultimately flipping the score.
Things didn’t look good for Die Mannschaft at times, but they once again showed the fighting mentality that brought them three points. By the way, this was the 11th win in a row for Germany.
Likely Lineup: Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Brown; Amiri, Nmecha; Leweling, Gros; Undav, Woltemade
Head to Head
Germany defeated Ecuador in the 2006 World Cup, 3-0, and after that these teams met in the 2013 friendly international, which ended 4-2 for the 4-time World champions.
Ecuador vs. Germany World Cup Predictions
The nominal hosts are in a desperate situation, and they have to go for three points. Attack is the only solution they have. Germans will play as if they, too, are in the same position, and be sure that Nagelsmann won’t calculate or anything, but mix his lineup and send the guys to triumph. Our pick here is over 2.5 goals, as we expect an open, offensive game.
