Ecuador's recent form has been concerning, with their last match resulting in a loss and no goals scored in their only fixture this season. They have had 10 days of rest since that match, which should provide ample time for recovery. Fortunately, they have no injuries or suspensions to contend with, but the pressure is on to turn their fortunes around against a formidable opponent.
