Betting on Ecuador (4 point – currently on 2nd Place)
Ecuador is having a spectacular World Cup, having won the inauguration match where everyone thought the South American team was going to be crushed and cannon fodder for the host to show off at home, but that didn’t happen. Enner Valencia, who has offered one of the best performances in this World Cup, scored a brace and silenced all Qatar fans.
Against the Netherlands, nobody expected the way in which Van Gaal’s would be run over by the South Americans in the second half. Ecuador is going to make history and is one point away from advancing to the round of 16.
The problem is the injury of Enner Valencia, who was unable to finish the game against the oranges and was very affected on the bench because of it. In the decisive match against Senegal, he is in doubt. This would be a considerable absence considering he has been the only player who have scored for Ecuador. Ecuador’s last six goals in World Cups have come from Valencia. For this reason, it is time to find another goalscorer, because they have elements at a spectacular level, such as Ángelo Preciado.
Probable Lineup (3-4-3): Hernán Galíndez, Jackson Porozo, Félix Torres, Piero Hincapié, Ángelo Preciado, Sebas Méndez, Moisés Caicedo, Pervis Estupiñan, Gonzalo Plata, Kevin Rodríguez, Michael Estrada
Betting on Senegal (3 points – Currently on 3rd Place)
Senegal was responsible for kicking the host out of the World Cup. Senegal earned three golden points and now plays against Ecuador for qualification, but it will not be easy for the African team. They attack quite well, but sometimes give a lot of advantages in the back line. Koulibaly is the leader of the team, but it is noticeable that sometimes they get a bit messy at the back.
However, when they are standing still, there is no way for opponents to break through their defense. They have strong attacking players, and against the Netherlands they held back the Europeans for most of the game, and the few occasions they generated were dangerous. However, their defensive problems in that game were clearly noticeable and also responsible for the two goals Senegal conceded.
Unlike Ecuador, Senegal will not be satisfied with a draw, so they are going to give everything on the field. If they do not win this match, it is over for them.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Edouard Mendy, Youssouf Sabaly, Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo, Ismail Jakobs, Ismaila Sarr, Nampalys Mendy, Idrissa Gueye, Krepin Diatta, Boulaye Dia, Famara Diedhiou.
JefeBet Prediction
Ecuador is playing better and although the soccer is not always fair, a place in the next round would be a good reward for their hard work. Senegal is a good team, but the momentum is with the South Americans, who will join the Netherlands in the Round of 16.
The possible loss of Enner Valencia is complicated, but they have many more elements that can take the offensive responsibility and lead Ecuador to a historic World Cup.
Prediction: Ecuador Moneyline (ECU 1- SEN 0)
