Ecuador must beat Germany to avoid being one of the biggest disappointments of this World Cup , but at least the timing of this contest helps their cause. Die Mannschaft are already assured of advancing as Group E winners after posting two victories so far and could be forgiven for easing off a touch here.
La Tri have just one point to show for their efforts but we haven’t forgotten how well they did in the South American qualifying section . Punters can get 11/4 for the underdogs to come good in New Jersey and that is rated a value bet in our first Ecuador vs Germany prediction.

Form Guides
Ecuador form guide
Sebastian Beccacece’s side suffered late heartbreak in their opening fixture this time around, with Amad Diallo hitting a late winner that earned Ivory Coast a 1-0 success in Philadelphia. The South Americans struck the woodwork three times in an entertaining encounter, with Beccacece insisting he felt his side had put in a “tremendous effort”.
A heroic performance from goalkeeper Eloy Room then helped Curacao hold La Tri to a goalless stalemate, as he acted as a one-man barrier by making 15 saves in Kansas City. Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie sent a free header over and Gonzalo Plata somehow missed after bursting into the area, while Kevin Rodriguez hit the bar with a cross-shot in a frustrating affair.
However, it is hard to write off a team which features PSG centre-back Willian Pacho and Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo and finished second in the South American qualifying pool after conceding only one goal in an 11-match unbeaten run. Looking at the list of BOYLE Sports price boosts for this game, 5/1 for Ecuador to prevail 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 is worth adding to our World Cup tips today.
Germany form guide
Die Mannschaft are sitting pretty at the top of the Group E table after following up a 7-1 demolition of Curacao by edging out Ivory Coast 2-1 thanks to a fine brace by substitute Deniz Undav. However, Germany have suffered early hiccups in both matches, with Curacao surprisingly levelling things up on 21 minutes in Houston and Ivory Coast going ahead on the half-hour mark in Toronto .
Head coach Julian Nagelsmann turned things around against Les Elephants by making a trio of changes at 60 minutes but the win was marred by a tournament-ending injury to Nico Schlotterback. Antonio Rudiger proved a more than able replacement but Nagelsmann may be wary of losing any more players from his Germany World Cup squad here, especially if Ecuador turn it into a physical contest.
Former West Ham forward Enner Valencia grabbed six goals in qualifying for Ecuador to make it 49 international strikes from 107 caps. Even at the age of 36, he has looked lively at this tournament and 13/2 for him to open the scoring completes our Ecuador vs Germany betting tips.
