Ecuador World Cup 2022 Preview

Ecuador’s first two group games have put them in an excellent position to advance to the round of 16. After a 2-0 win over Qatar and a strong 1-1 draw against the Netherlands, Ecuador hold four points and even a draw against Senegal would secure their place in the last 16.

In addition, the South American country has a World Cup hero: Enner Valencia scored again against the Netherlands and already has notched up three goals in the tournament. As in the first match against Qatar, the experienced striker from Fenerbahce Istanbul had to be substituted against the Netherlands with an injury. But there is no question that he will play against Senegal and will be an important key player for Ecuador.

---

Ecuador now hold all the aces against Senegal and they looked more ” composed ” than the Senegalese in the first games. It is therefore no surprise that the bookmakers favor Ecuador. Considering how strong Ecuador were against the Netherlands, the odds of @2.45 are also a good value bet.

In addition, Senegal must win to make it into the last 16 after all. This should also create counter-attacking opportunities for Ecuador over time.

Senegal World Cup 2022 Preview

Senegal kept themselves in the race for promotion with a 3-1 win over Qatar, but were far from convincing against the weak World Cup hosts. There was even a brief period in the second half when Qatar almost took control. After the Qataris had scored again, Senegal trembled for a short time before adding the 3:1.

However, the Senegalese have been very erratic and error-prone throughout the tournament. Due to the absence of Sadio Mané, the efficiency in the attack is poor and Aliou Cissé’s team often acts too clumsy and complicated.

---

Although the two attackers Diédhiou and Dia both scored against Qatar, the Senegalese were particularly careless with the available spaces on several occasions.

Considering how strong Ecuador were against the Netherlands you can already guess that the decisive match will be a very difficult one for the ill-balanced Senegalese.

Ecuador – Senegal Over Under Prediction

The match will be dominated by a lot of caution at the beginning, because losing is forbidden for both teams. Ecuador can take an even more wait-and-see approach, especially since a draw is enough for the South Americans to advance.

Senegal haven’t necessarily stood out with good decision-making in the tournament so far, but that’s exactly what will matter in the match against Ecuador. It is therefore to be expected that Ecuador will let the Senegalese attack and lurk on the counterattack.

We therefore do not expect a game with many goals, but rather a game in which individual actions or nuances will make the difference. Our goal count bet for Ecuador – Senegal is therefore an “Under 2.5”, i.e. a maximum of two goals scored in the match.

Ecuador – Senegal Prediction

Ecuador have clearly been stronger than Senegal in the tournament so far. The performance against the Netherlands was particularly impressive, even if it was not rewarded with a win. It was also striking that Ecuador only allowed 0.04 expected goals from Oranje against the Netherlands, which also says something about the defensive stability of the South Americans.

The circumstances are clearly in Ecuador’s favour: even a draw is enough to advance and therefore they can let Senegal have the ball and lurk on the counterattack. In the first games, Senegal became dangerous mainly when their opponents made mistakes and thus allowed scoring opportunities. Ecuador, however, made very few mistakes so far…

We are therefore betting Ecuador will beat Senegal, especially as the hard-working Latinos will have a number of counter-attacking opportunities. And given Enner Valencia’s top form, we can expect another goal from the captain!

Ecuador – Senegal Correct Score Bet

Ecuador will try to be safe in defense and not allow much. As Senegal have not been a creative team so far, the Africans will have few scoring opportunities.

Ecuador, on the other hand, will get their opportunities when it comes to transition play and will score sooner or later. Our Ecuador Senegal result bet is a 2-0 win in the end, because we expect Senegal to open up at some point and Ecuador to create several opportunities in the closing stages.
