In this match, Ecuador can advance to the knockout stages if they manage to score points, while Senegal must win to turn things around so they can finish in first or second place.
Based on the latest group A standings, Ecuador and the Netherlands have both won 4 points from 2 matches. However, the Netherlands is at the top of the standings due to the overall win on goal difference, while Senegal is in third place with 3 points, and the bottom position is filled by Qatar, which has not managed to get any points.
What’s interesting about this group is that the Netherlands have already qualified for the last 16. Whatever the results in the third round later, the Netherlands will at least be in second place.
If they qualify as group A winners, then Ecuador, Senegal or the Netherlands will face the runners-up in group B. Meanwhile, if they win second place in group A, then the team will face the group B winners.
Ecuador got 4 points after winning 2-0 over Qatar in the first round, and drew 1-1 against the Netherlands last Friday. If they maintain their draw against Senegal they could progress.
However, main midfielder, Jergeson Mendes, who plays for Los Angeles FC, was suspended for this game. This is of course very unprofitable for Ecuador.
Meanwhile, in the first round against the Netherlands, Senegal lost 2 goals. In the second round against Qatar, they easily won 3-1, and temporarily ranked third in the group. They needed to win this game to advance to the next round.
