Goalfest or snoozefest?
Both teams have opted for a back five today, which doesn’t necessarily scream “4-3 classic” but it all depends on how attacking those wingbacks are. Expect Dumfries to spend more time near Ecuador’s box than his own, while Daley Blind may tuck in to make it look more like a back four for the Netherlands

Always the bridesmaid
Netherlands have never won the World Cup despite regularly reaching the latter stages of the tournament and reinventing the way the game was played with their total football revolution. On paper, this Dutch side looks some way short of their previous vintages, but van Gaal is always capable of springing a tactical surprise.

Destiny calling
With three points already in the bag after their opening day victory over hosts Qatar, La Tri have a great chance of progressing if they can take some points off either Netherlands or Senegal.
A win today would see them through, and likely as group winners, potentially setting up an easier last 16 game and historic progression in this tournament.
