Ecuador has been struggling. In their last five games, they have not won once, with three draws and two losses. They have also failed to score in their last three matches, which shows they are finding it very hard to create chances.

Germany is also in poor form, having lost their last two matches. However, they scored in both of those games, including a high-scoring 7-1 defeat that shows their games can be very open. With Ecuador's weak attack and Germany's recent defensive problems, this match looks likely to be close but Germany should have enough quality to win it.
