The Scout: World Cup Qatar vs Ecuador Preview

Group A – Qatar v Ecuador

As World Cup glamour games go, the 2022 opener between Qatar and Ecuador is well down the pecking order but Sunday’s fixture still holds plenty of intrigue.

Qatar have lost just 3 of their 21 contests this year, shutting out their opponents on 10 occasions, while Ecuador have kept 6 clean sheets in the last 6 games.

With 2 tight defences on show, expect a low scoring encounter, although Almoez Ali (Qatar) and Enner Valencia (Ecuador) have very good goalscoring records at international level.
