Ecuador
WDDWWL
Ecuador will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 WC defeat last time out to Ivory Coast.
In that match, Ecuador had 55% possession and 6 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. On the other side, Ivory Coast got 6 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Amad Diallo (90') was the scorer for Ivory Coast.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Ecuador defence. Ecuador have been miserly, seeing the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past six matches standing at 4.
Curaçao
DLLLWL
After being beaten in their last game against Germany in WC action, Curaçao will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Curaçao managed 35% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Curaçao was Livano Comenencia (21'). Germany got 27 shots on goal with 12 of them on target. Felix Nmecha (6'), Nico Schlotterbeck (38'), Kai Havertz (45', 88'), Jamal Musiala (47'), Nathaniel Brown (68') and Deniz Undav (78') scored for Germany.
A number of somewhat weak displays from the Curaçao defence has resulted in a sum of 18 goals being scored against them in only their last 6 fixtures. They certainly could do with sorting out this disappointing component of their play. Having said that, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern will continue on in this next game or not.
🧠
Prediction
It looks to us like Curaçao could really find it hard to put one past a Ecuador outfit who have the capability to own this match if all goes as we expect it to.
We’re therefore predicting a very comfortable 3-0 winning scoreline for Ecuador by the conclusion of the match.
