Pre-match:

Ecuador starting XI: Hernan Galindez - Angelo Preciado, Felix Torres, Piero Hincapie, Pervis Estupinan - Carlos Gruezo, Alan Franco, Moises Caicedo - Gonzalo Plata, Michael Estrada, Enner Valencia

Senegal starting XI: Edouard Mendy - Youssouf Sabaly, Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo, Ismail Jakobs - Pathe Ciss, Papa Gueye - Iliman Ndiaye, Idrissa Gueye, Ismaila Sarr - Boulaye Dia

Players to watch: Enner Valencia has accounted for Ecuador’s last six goals in the World Cup finals and he could become only the fifth non-Brazilian from South America to score in every group game during post-war editions featuring 16+ teams (1954-present). Just six years after failing a trial with Welsh side Airbus UK, Boulaye Dia opened the scoring in Senegal’s win over Qatar, en-route to their maiden multi-goal margin victory in the World Cup proper.

Hot stat: Senegal have conceded beyond the 70th minute in each of their last six World Cup group stage games.

World Cup trivia: The word ‘Teranga’ in Senegal’s nickname is of Wolof ethnic origin and means hospitality or welcoming generosity.
