It’s the final round of group games in Group E, and there’s all to play for between Ecuador and Curacao, both of whom have different opponents, both tied on one point and still in the running for third place, which could be enough to progress. The Ecuadorians will search for a path to the knockouts by playing the Germans in New Jersey.
The South Americans have no other option but to go for the win against group-leaders Germany this Thursday, who with six points have already qualified for the next stage. With the stakes so high, and tensions likely to flare, a player like Moises Caicedo, who can’t seem to avoid running into trouble, looks very nicely priced to receive a booking for Ecuador. This really does look like a great bet at odds of +250.

Ecuador - Germany: Form Analysis
Germany started their last game a little shaky, with Ivory Coast coming out strong, playing with a high intensity and leading the game with one goal. This was followed by many chances, even when the Germans equalized, which they failed to convert. The final result could easily have been different, and it likely would have been a negative result for the Germans had two of their second-half subs not been so impactful, with Denis Undav saving the day.

The Ecuadorians missed out on what would have been a crucial three points against underdogs Curacao, creating a whopping 27 shots (15 on target), yet still failing to score. They really are struggling to get the ball in the net. In terms of shots and forward intensity, they’ll need to deliver a similar performance against the world-number eight, though this is of course a considerably tougher assignment.

Ecuador & Germany Squad Analysis
Regardless of so much misfortune, Ecuadorian manager Beccacece shouldn’t be too displeased with his team’s offensive set up. The enter-forward partnership of Enner Valencia and Gonzala Plata produced a combined 12 shots at goal, whilst just behind them, Moises Caicedo and Pedro Vite both had strong performances.
Julian Nagelsmann’s decision to bring Denis Undav and Nadiem Amiri off the bench completely changed the game.
Julian Nagelsmann’s decision to bring Denis Undav and Nadiem Amiri off the bench completely changed the game, combining to score the equalizer, allowing Germany to come out on top in the last kicks of the game. Perhaps this huge impact would influence Nagelsmann to draft them both into the starting XI for their last group game.
Ecuador - Germany Key Points

Our Ecuador vs Germany Prediction
We’re talking about a central midfielder that is very rash, one that struggles to keep his cool, and therefore, sees himself fly into challenges. For his nation in the last couple of years, Caicedo has found himself in the ref’s book in tough games such as Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia.
Likewise, in the newly conceded EPL season, the destructive midfielder was carded against Man City, Liverpool, Newcastle, plus a straight-red against Arsenal. Ecuador’s final game against Germany will be hard work for Beccacece’s boys, emotions will be heightened in this important game. Such a compelling track record in high-pressure games makes the early odds of +250 simply too generous.
Our Ecuador vs Germany Pick: Moises Caicedo to Receive a Card.

Germany to Win
Whilst a win isn’t totally necessary for the Germans, their performances at this tournament so far speaks a lot more for itself than that of their next opponents, going two for two with a total of nine goals scored. Whereas Ecuador seems to be cracking under the pressure of the main stage, and couldn’t finish any of their chances against newcomers Curacao last time out.
