Ecuador vs Senegal Prediction - 2022 World Cup: Who Will Win?

⚽ Ecuador national team

Ecuador comes in as one of the best teams in all of Latin America. This team left in their wake others with a great history in recent World Cups, such as Colombia and Chile. They will arrive at the 2022 World Cup in 44th position in the FIFA ranking.

👟 How did Ecuador qualify?

After being left out of the last World Cup, Ecuador's national team started the CONMEBOL qualifiers with a bang. As such, they were never out of the qualifying places for Qatar 2022. That said, they even slowed down at the end of the qualifiers and were overtaken by Uruguay. However, their 7 wins and 5 draws were enough to earn them a direct ticket to the World Cup.

It will be Ecuador's fourth appearance at a World Cup. Their best result so far was reaching the round of 16 in 2006. Can they repeat this feat? The duel against Senegal will be key.

🔝 Ecuador's players to watch

The Ecuadorian team is one of the youngest at the World Cup. Their players average 24.7 years of age. That said, they still have some very experienced players, such as Enner Valencia.

These are just five of Ecuador's top players for 2022:

• Piero Hincapié (Bayer Leverkusen)
• José Cifuentes (Los Angeles FC)
• Moisés Caicuentes (Los Angeles FC)
• Moisés Caicedo (Brighton)
• Pervis Estupiñán (Brighton)

Despite the fact that these young stars are succeeding with their own teams, Enner Valencia will get all the spotlight. The Fenerbahçe striker is the player with most goals in Ecuadorian history: 35 goals.

⚽ Senegal national team

If there is one African team capable of springing a surprise in Qatar it is Senegal. They are coming off the back of winning the Africa Cup of Nations and are also ranked 18th in the FIFA rankings. The best position for a team from Africa.

👟 How did Senegal qualify?

Senegal's top players have been playing for years in the best teams on the old continent. However, they also have young players that make the average age of the national team 25.8 years old.

These are just five of Senegal's most prominent players in 2022:

• Sadio Mané (Bayern Munich)
• Moussa Niakhaté (Nottingham Forest)
• Kalidou Koulibaly (Chelsea)
• Abdou Diallo (RB Leipzig)
• Ismaïla Sarr (Watford)

This is a golden opportunity for Senegal to repeat their historic feat of 2002, when they reached the quarter-finals. And their key players, such as Sadio Mané, are at the peak of their careers.

🤔 Markets and Predictions Ecuador Senegal

Our Ecuador Senegal predictions point out that the most likely outcome is for the Africans to get the 3 points. Below, we will present you with 3 of the most interesting markets of this style:

📍 Who will win Ecuador vs Senegal

You only have to look at the Ecuador vs Senegal odds to understand how evenly matched the teams are. The victory of the Africans pays a little less, as they start as the big favourites. Of course, Ecuador is a tough nut to crack (they don't concede many goals), so it is possible that they will take all 3 points or get a draw. Let's see what odds are available:

Outcome:	1	X	2
	3.00	3.20	2.55
	2.95	3.25	2.55
	2.90	3.11	2.47

These odds are subject to change.

📍 Double Chance

The "Double Chance" market will allow you to bet on 2 outcomes at the same time, instead of just one. In this case, we recommend you to bet on the "Senegal or draw" option because we don't see the Ecuadorian team surprising Mendy.

Keep in mind that you only have a 33% chance of being wrong with this kind of bet (or 66% chance of being right). This explains why the odds you'll see in the table below are smaller.

Double Chance:	Ecuador or Senegal	Ecuador or draw	Senegal or draw
	1.37	1.54	1.41
	1.34	1.52	1.40
	1.34	1.48	1.37

These odds are subject to change.

📍 No-draw bet

Another option for betting on Senegal to win is to do so in the "No Draw Bet" market. This offers slightly higher odds, but without reaching the levels of the classic 1 X 2. Why is that? Very simple: you have to bet on Ecuador or Senegal to win and, in the event of a draw, you'll get your money back. Let's see which sites have the highest odds for this market:

Bet without a draw	Ecuador	Senegal
	2.05	1.75
	2.06	1.77
	2.02	1.74

These odds may be subject to change.

💸 Ecuador vs Senegal statistics

We expect the duel between Ecuador and Senegal to be very evenly matched. Both teams have managed many draws in 2022 and most of them have seen very few goals in 90 minutes. Let's go through the most important facts about these two teams:

• This will be the first time in history that Senegal will be participating in their second World Cup in a row. And, in the previous edition, they missed out because they received more yellow cards than Japan.
• They will be out of the World Cup for the first time in history.
• In the first nine matches of 2022, Ecuador's record is as follows: two wins (Nigeria and Capo Verde), six draws and one defeat. They have now gone 5 matches in a row without conceding a goal.
• They have not conceded a goal.
• By playing in the Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal is one of the teams with the most matches played in 2022. In the first 16 they had 8 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses (to Zambia and Egypt).

For these reasons, our prediction for Ecuador Senegal is that the Africans will take all three points to advance to the round of 16. Their players have a lot of international experience, which will surely make the difference.
