The final group game in Group A is a huge one for both Ecuador and Senegal, as both will be gunning to win in order to qualify from the group into the knockouts. Ecuador are in a better situation than Senegal, as they just have to avoid defeat to qualify. They have one more point than Senegal, and a win or draw will be enough to put them into the knockouts. They are also unbeaten, which they can continue by avoiding defeat here. As for Senegal, they must win in order to qualify. A draw might be enough, should the Netherlands unexpectantly lose to Qatar, but they should win that one, meaning a win is imperative. With the low scoring games we've had, and Ecuador not needing to win, we could see a low scoring contest here. 1:1
Enner Valencia, who has scored all three of Ecuador's goals this tournament, came off injured towards the end of the Senegal game, but is expected to start here. Abdou Diallo returned for Senegal against Qatar, after previously being a doubt. We may see Boulaye Dia partner Famara Deidhiou up top, after both scored against Qatar in their 3-1 win.
