Germany have not necessarily been all that convincing so far in the World Cup. They may have trounced Curacao 7-1 in the opening game of Group E, but allowed the Caribbeans to equalize early on. Then, it took a last-minute salvo from super sub Deniz Undav to steal three points at the death against Ivory Coast. Nevertheless, it's been enough to have already sewn up the group with a game to spare.
Meanwhile, Ecuador still have work to do. A 1-0 defeat at the hands of Ivory Coast followed by a 0-0 draw against Curacao leaves the South Americans needing a win against Germany to have any real chance of progression to the round of 32, with a draw unlikely to be enough to end up as one of the best-placed third-place teams. Sebastian Beccacece's side will be hoping Germany take their foot off the pedal a little, but we know that's not likely to happen. Either way, it'll be an enthralling encounter.
