Ecuador vs Senegal Match Analysis & Prediction
29/11/2022 6:00 pm
Ecuador have been impressive in their opening two fixtures of the World Cup, but will hope to seal qualification for the knockout stages against Senegal on Tuesday.
The South Americans recorded a win over Qatar in their first match, then drew with the Netherlands in their second outing.
Meanwhile, Senegal has managed only one point from their first two games after losing to the Netherlands but defeating Qatar by an own goal.
Ecuador’s start to the World Cup has been excellent, and they lead Group A with four points from their two matches played.
Gustavo Alfaro has been lauded worldwide for his tactical capability, setting up his side with a balance to attack with fluency and defend in numbers when needed.
On matchday one, Ecuador secured a 2-0 victory over Qatar thanks to a double from star man Enner Valencia, who once again proved to be the hero in their second match against the Netherlands.
Senegal has put itself in a strong position to qualify for the last 16 World Cup following its victory over Qatar.
In a clinical display, the Lions of Teranga dispatched their Qatari opposition by a score of 3-1, as strikes from Boulaye Dia, Famara Diedhiou and Bamba Dieng grabbed all three points at the Al Thumama Stadium.
This win was imperative to their chances of reaching the last 16, following a disappointing late collapse to the Netherlands in their first Group A encounter.

Ecuador Team News
Ecuador will be expected to put out a strong side when they take on Senegal in their World Cup match on Saturday; however, they may need to do so without star man and top scorer Enner Valencia.
He was injured in the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, and his availability for the tie is now in serious doubt. If he cannot play, Ecuador will have to choose between Jeremy Sarmiento and Kevin Rodriguez as possible replacements.
