Ecuador vs Senegal Prediction, Live Streaming, & Preview

The third competition matchup between Ecuador vs Senegal will take place on November 29. Senegal is placed 3rd in Group A with three points, while Ecuador is in the first position with four points.

The opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 was played, and Ecuador easily defeated its opponent 2-0. In their subsequent game against the Netherlands, they likewise succeeded to settle for a tie.

Senegal defeated Qatar 3-1 in their second game after losing their previous one 0-2 to the Dutch. At this stage, both of these squads must win because a victory would be sufficient for either of them to progress to the next stage.

Ecuador vs Senegal Preview

Senegal Team

For Ecuador, a tie would be good, but Senegal might not be able to do so because they’d have to rely on the outcome of the game between the Dutch and Qatar. In such a scenario, Qatar needs to defeat the Netherlands by a minimum score of three, which now looks extremely impossible. The Lions of Teranga continue to build on their impressive performance against Qatar. In this game, they want to play with a similar passion.

Ecuador Team

Ecuador is comfortably in first place in Group A and appears to be on track to go. For them, a tie in this game will enough. Yet, that does not imply that the South American team will ease up. They might have to play England in the following stage if they lose.

The team led by coach of Gustavo Alfaro would rather play against countries like Iran or the USA. Alfaro has won awards for his tactical prowess, which allowed his squad to be well-balanced enough to effectively attack and defend when called upon.

Due to Senegal’s victory in the lone meeting between the two countries, an international friendly, in May 2002, they had history on their side. It’s interesting to note that while Ecuador has never faced an African nation at a global championship, Senegal has lost both of its games against South American countries.

Ecuador vs Senegal Prediction

Ecuador will advance next round with a 3-2 victory over its opponent. For Senegal, this means the end of the journey.

Players to Watch

Given the presence of Nampalys Mendy and Idrissa Gueye, Senegal has a solid midfield. Ismaila Sarr, a winger, will also be essential in the game. Enner Valencia of Ecuador, who has already hit three goals at the World Cup 2022, will be the game’s most crucial player.
