Mexico News:
Mexico have been imperious in the group stage, winning all three matches and keeping clean sheets throughout to top Group A with maximum points and six goals scored - a performance that has given the home nation and their supporters every reason to believe this could be a historic tournament run.El Tri opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory over South Africa in a match that featured three sendings off, with Julian Quinones and Raul Jimenez on the scoresheet to set the tone.A gritty 1-0 win over South Korea followed, before a commanding 3-0 victory over Czech in their final group outing sealed top spot convincingly.
Mexico have no injury concerns heading into the round of 32, and Aguirre is expected to restore Raul Jimenez to the starting lineup after the striker was rested for the Czech Republic match.Raul Rangel will continue in goal, after coming off against Czechia for 40-year-old Guillermo Ochoa to become only the third player in history, alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, to appear at six World Cups.Seventeen-year-old Gilberto Mora made history against Czechia as the youngest Mexico player ever to start a World Cup match, and could feature from the bench once again as Aguirre manages his minutes.The back four of Jorge Sanchez, Cesar Montes, Johan Vasquez and Jesus Gallardo is expected to remain intact, having kept three consecutive clean sheets across the group stage.
Ecuador News:
Ecuador, meanwhile, endured a turbulent group stage before ultimately securing their passage through as one of the best third-placed sides on four points from Group E.Sebastian Beccacece’s side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ivory Coast on matchday one, conceding a heartbreaking 90th-minute goal before being held to a goalless draw by Curacao despite registering 27 shots on goal, a result that left their qualification hopes hanging by a thread heading into the final round of fixtures.The decisive moment came against Group E winners Germany, where Ecuador produced a heroic comeback to win 2-1.
Ecuador also have no fitness or injury concerns, and Beccacece is not expected to make drastic changes to the lineup that delivered the win over Germany.Alan Franco is expected to continue in defence alongside Joel Ordonez, Willian Pacho and Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie, while Plata could retain his place in attack after his match-winning contribution against Germany.Enner Valencia - Ecuador’s all-time record goalscorer at 36 years old arrives at this fixture just one goal away from reaching 50 international goals for his country, and the former West Ham striker will be desperate to reach that landmark on the biggest stage of all.
