ECUADOR take on Africa Cup of Nations winners Senegal in their third round match in Group A.
Senegal won their second group game 3-1 against Qatar, while Ecuador drew 1-1 with the Dutch.
Senegal HAVE to win this game to qualify for the knockout stages, while a point will do the job for Ecuador.
Ecuador fans have reason to be excited following an influx of talented youngsters, including Brighton trio Moises Caicedo, Pervis Estupinan, and attacking-midfielder Jeremy Sarmiento.
This is their fourth appearance at a World Cup, and head coach Gustavo Alfaro will see this as an opportunity to match their best ever performance in 2002, when they reached the round of 16.
They were knocked out by England in a cagey affair which finished 1-0, with the South American side only qualifying for the competition once since.
Ecuador will come to Qatar confident having drawn against both Argentina and Brazil in qualification, finishing just two points behind third-placed Uruguay.
However, they will have their work cut out against an in-form Senegal side who will hope to translate their African Cup of Nations success into World Cup glory.
