Ecuador vs Senegal.

In a thrilling winner takes all match, Ecuador and Senegal square off at the 45,000-seat Khalifa International Stadium in Doha to determine who advances to the Round of 16 for a subsequent match, with either team still in the running to win Group A. However, Ecuador appears to be in the driver's seat here, needing only a draw or a third perfect game.

Senegal is now the only African team to have ever assisted in the elimination of a World Cup host after defeating Qatar 3-1.They realistically need to win once more to add to a perfect H2H record against Ecuador; otherwise, their own 2002 debut will remain the only previous group stage success for the country. Interestingly, that accomplishment was only narrowly accomplished by a draw in which Senegal won.

Due to his psychological wounds, Cissé might feel compelled to play defense if Senegal ever took the lead. The Lions of Teranga, though, may be worried by more recent history as well, as they drew 2-2 with Japan in 2018 despite taking the lead in their lone previous matchup against the lowest-ranked non-host in a World Cup group.

For this prediction: Draw or Senegal to win.
