Ecuador may not have received the first booking in their recent game against Qatar on Sunday, but they are expected to defend more against the Netherlands. The Ecuadorians received two yellow cards last time out and coming up against the Dutch side that has tricky players would commit them early.
Although they head into the game as the underdogs, Ecuador has the quality upfront that can keep the Netherlands on their toes. They managed three corners last time out and the bookies have backed them to repeat the same against the Dutch side.
The Netherlands are the favourites to get the win over Ecuador but they could be held to a frustrating draw in the first half, just as they surprisingly got held by Senegal. The Dutch side scored two late goals to get off to a winning start and they are backed to repeat the same against Ecuador.
The
got off to a winning start to the 2022 World Cup Qatar following a late 2-0 win over Senegal on Monday. The Dutch side are unbeaten in their last 16 matches, including the win over Senegal.
They will want to ensure they remain unbeaten when they face Ecuador with the same points (3) as them. They will look to put their poor start to the campaign when they face Senegal, the AFCON champions, on matchday 2 of the competition.
Ecuador won their opener 2-0 over the World Cup hosts, Qatar, on Sunday following a brace from Enner Valencia. Although they are not the favourite to win against the Netherlands, they have the squad to challenge the Dutch side for the first spot in the group stage.
The Netherlands won their last three games without conceding a goal. Back them to beat Ecuador with a clean sheet.
Back Netherlands to win or draw. Ecuador showed against Qatar that they have the quality to hurt teams when they have the chance. They could force the Netherlands to settle for a draw, and the chances of that happening aren’t far off the mark.
