Ecuador vs. Germany Preview

Ecuador

La Tri enters this high-stakes fixture after a massive failure in the previous round, where they were held to a gritty 0-0 tie against Curaçao in Kansas City. Sebastian Beccacece’s men are more or less solid on the defensive side of the ball, yet when it comes to their offense, that’s much worse.

In 180 minutes at the World Cup, La Tri couldn’t net, which is the main reason for their current situation.

Meanwhile, defensively, they have been exceptionally organized, allowing one goal or fewer in 6 of their last 8 competitive matches. Against Germany, their back line will be heavily tested, even though the Germans plan to mix their lineup.

Germany

Julian Nagelsmann’s side is currently the team to beat in Group E. Die Mannschaft is riding high after a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over the Ivory Coast in Toronto. Deniz Undav is their man now, with Stuttgart’s striker netting a brace in the second half against the Elephants.

Having already dismantled Curaçao 7-1 in their tournament opener, the Germans are playing with supreme confidence. While their offensive machinery is humming perfectly, Nagelsmann will surely demand tighter focus during defensive transitions.

Die Mannschaft allowed at least a goal in 5 of the previous 6 events, and that’s something they can’t afford in the elimination stage.

Ecuador vs Germany Head to Head

In 2006, Germany smashed Ecuador at the World Cup which they hosted. Back then, it was 3-0 for Die Mannschaft. Seven years later, these two sides had an extremely interesting friendly, which saw 6 goals and Germany’s 4-2 triumph.

Ecuador vs. Germany Predictions

The upcoming event will be very tough for Ecuador, which must open and attack in order to reach three points. Now the Germans won’t play with their best lineup, but their mentality won’t be any different than the usual one, meaning Nagelsmann’s goal is to win. So, those who start against Ecuador will play with 100% of its power. Our pick here is for Germany to win, as Ecuador lacks enough firepower to endanger the 4-time World champions.

Our verdict: Germany wins
