Ecuador: Team News
Ecuador arrive with a clean injury sheet so coach Sebastian Beccacece can pick from his strongest group. The big story centers on Enner Valencia who could set a new national record for World Cup appearances. His presence up front gives them a focal point yet the attack has managed only one goal across the two tournament games so far. The side showed fight in the draw with Curacao but must turn that defensive resolve into goals against a high quality German unit. Midfield control through Caicedo will be key if they hope to create clear chances.
Germany: Team News
Germany head into the game without Nico Schlotterbeck who picked up an ankle issue in the last outing. The rest of the squad looks fresh and full of confidence after the dramatic comeback win over Ivory Coast. Deniz Undav continues to deliver important contributions late in matches and his movement between the lines creates constant problems. The back line remains solid even with the change and the team carries real momentum from four straight wins. Coach will look to keep the same energy that secured qualification while chasing another milestone result.
