Netherlands vs Ecuador Prediction & Tips
The Netherlands managed to get the first 3 points with a lot of sacrifice, against a great Senegal that dominated the midfield and created dangerous chances with ease. Finally Gakpo scored the first in the 84th minute and in the last minute Klaasen scored, but Van Gaal will have to be self-critical for the fragility of the defense, the lack of control in midfield and the offensive inoperativeness.
Before the World Cup, the Netherlands played in the Nations League in which they swept through a difficult group that also included Wales, Poland and Belgium. The qualification for the World Cup was quite easy for them as they finished 1st in group G ahead of Turkey and Norway.
The Netherlands could start with Andries Noppert; Daley Blind, Nathan Aké, Virgil Van Dijk, Matthijs De Ligt, Denzel Dumfries; Frenkie De Jong, Steven Berghuis; Cody Gakpo, Steven Bergwijn and Memphis Depay.
Ecuador had the always complicated task of facing the hosts of the World Cup, but they solved without problems against a nervous and clumsy Qatar, affected by stage fright and lack of experience in this kind of events. Ecuador won by 2 goals to 0, both goals scored by their star player Enner Valencia, who unsettled the Qatari fans who opted to leave the stadium at halftime.
Ecuador obtained the direct pass to the World Cup by occupying the 4th and last place in that region that gave the ticket to Qatar.
The starting eleven of the tricolor for this match could be Hernán Galíndez; Angelo Preciado, Félix Torres, Piero Hincapié, Pervis Estupiñán; Gonzalo Plata, Jhegson Méndez, Moisés Caicedo, Romario Ibarra; Enner Valencia and Michael Estrada.
