It is effectively winner takes all when Ecuador and Senegal clash in the final round of matches in Group A on Tuesday afternoon.

The South Americans, second in the group with four points from two games, can book their ticket to the last 16 if they avoid defeat and will finish top if they better the Netherlands’ result against Qatar.

Ecuador boss Gustavo Alfaro will be praying that captain and star striker Enner Valencia, who has scored all three of their goals, is fit to play after he was forced off with an ongoing knee problem in the 1-1 draw with the Dutch last Friday.

Senegal are third with three points and really need to win to continue their campaign as the Netherlands face already eliminated Qatar in their final game, although a draw would be enough for the Africa Cup of Nations winners in the unlikely event the hosts win by three goals or more.

Lions of Teranga head coach Aliou Cissé has won plaudits for his compact approach but is considering more attacking tactics in order to secure progression.
