India viewers should expect ZEE5 sign-in rules to apply, and Germany's safest full-match route sits with MagentaTV. That makes this fixture widely available, yet not fully free in every country.

Ivory Coast vs Ecuador Match Preview
The Ivory Coast squad come in with sharper recent warm-up results and real belief after a strong run under Emerse Fae. Franck Kessie, Seko Fofana, Amad Diallo, and Ousmane Diomande give the Elephants pace, power, and front-foot pressing tools that can make this game uncomfortable for long stretches.
The Ecuador squad bring a more settled defensive floor into the opener, and that has been the main story of Sebastian Beccacece's build-up. Moises Caicedo, Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapie, and Enner Valencia give Ecuador control through the middle and a cleaner structure when the match slows into longer tactical phases.
The game should split into two clear ideas. Ivory Coast want transitions, wing isolation, and early pressure around the Ecuador box, while Ecuador want to keep the shape compact enough for Caicedo and the back line to decide the tempo. The first goal matters because both teams are built to look stronger once they can protect the game state.
Ivory Coast vs Ecuador Expected Lineups
Ivory Coast vs Ecuador expected lineups remain projected because the official XIs arrive close to kickoff. The strongest current read points to Ivory Coast using Diallo and Yan Diomande around a central striker, while Ecuador should keep Caicedo at the heart of a back-to-front spine built for control and defensive recovery.
| Team | Expected Starting XI |
|---|---|
| Ivory Coast | Yahia Fofana; Guela Doue, Emmanuel Agbadou, Odilon Kossounou, Ghislain Konan; Franck Kessie, Ibrahim Sangare, Seko Fofana; Amad Diallo, Evan Guessand, Yan Diomande |
| Ecuador | Hernan Galindez; Joel Ordonez, Willian Pacho, Piero Hincapie, Pervis Estupinan; Moises Caicedo, Pedro Vite; John Yeboah, Gonzalo Plata, Janner Corozo; Enner Valencia |
