Ecuador and Germany will collide in a 2026 World Cup Group E clash on 25 June as La Tri look to stun the much-fancied Die Mannschaft.
Current Form
Ecuador were held to a 0-0 draw by Curaçao in their second Group E match on June 21 and they are winless in two matches across all competitions.
Germany, on the other hand, secured a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast in their second Group E match on June 21, extending their unbeaten run to 11 matches (11 consecutive wins).
Head-to-head
The two nations have met twice since their first-ever match, a World Cup clash in June 2006. Germany won both matches.
Their most recent game, a friendly played in May 2013, ended with Germany winning 4-2.
Team News
Ecuador have no injury worries as Pervis Estupiñán returned to action against Curacao after missing the Ivory Coast match. La Tri will pin their hopes of securing a win on Enner Valencia, Gonzalo Plata and Moisés Caicedo
Meanwhile, Germany have no suspension concerns, and they are likely to rest some of their key players as they have already booked their place in the Round of 32. Players like Nick Woltemade, Leon Goretzka and Deniz Undav could start for Die Mannschaft.
Quotes
“When you focus on the next step, you will be ready for Ecuador, and also for the next stages,” Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann said after their win over Ivory Coast.
“We will not do totally different things against Ecuador, we will try to focus on our way, we will try to adapt some little things.
“If you prepare for the next game in a serious way, you will be prepared for the next stage as well.”
