Sharing the group with a powerhouse like Germany, who already handedly beat Curacao, both Ivory Coast an Ecuador know that only a win serves them right. Goal difference is also a big factor as Germany won 7-1, hence it’s a tough GD to match.
Ecuador and Ivory Coast both will face Curacao, but scoring seven is no easy feat. Hence, it’s likely that these two sides are looking to not only earn three points today, but also do it by the largest margin possible.
