Two groups are always on duty on the same day. On November 29, it will be Groups A and B:
Ecuador – Senegal: Al-Rajjan (Chalifa International Stadion)
Ecuador: Coach Gustavo Alfaro expects the toughest game of the tournament so far. It’s all about getting ahead for both teams. “It’s going to be incredibly intense without a doubt,” predicted Alfaro, who has to replace suspended midfielder Jhegson Méndez. Goalscorer Énner Valencia is slightly injured but can play. If he scores the next goal for Ecuador, it would be a World Cup record for his country with seven World Cup goals in a row.
Senegal: The African champions need a win to reach the round of 16 at a World Cup for the second time since 2002. The performance in the 3-1 win against Qatar encouraged the team coached by Aliou Cissé. Even without the sorely missed Bayern star striker Sadio Mané, the Senegalese scored three goals. In addition, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Chelsea FC proved to be a safe support after a weak start.
Netherlands – Qatar: Al-Khour (Al-Bait Stadium)
Netherlands: A victory and thus first place in the group are firmly planned. In the case of the Netherlands, the focus against the outsider is to get their own offensive going. In the 1-1 draw with Ecuador, the team managed just one shot on target, which is simply unacceptable for an Elftal. Therefore, Memphis Depay should be in the starting XI for the first time and provide a remedy.
Qatar: The team of Spanish coach Felix Sanchez can no longer advance to the round of 16 after two defeats in the preliminary round. Now it’s all about honor. The Asian champions want to prove they are competitive at this level. A draw or even a win would be important respectable successes. If they lose again, Qatar would be the first host to lose a point.
Iran – USA: Doha (Al-Thumama Stadium)
Iran: A game for Team Melli could hardly be more explosive, in terms of sport and politics. The US is considered the great “Satan” in the Islamic Republic’s doctrine, and defeat would be more than just a failure on the pitch. The game could also become historical in terms of sport. With a win, the team of Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz would certainly qualify for the knockout stages for the first time. It is unclear whether goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand will return to the starting XI after suffering a head injury in the first game.
USA: After two draws against Wales (1-1) and England (0-0), the Americans need a win to reach the round of 16. Coach Gregg Berhalter is still looking for his ideal person at the top. In the first game, ex-Bremer Josh Sargent was allowed to play from the start, in the second Haji Wright. It is possible that this time Timothy Weah will move up to the front and behind him Giovanni Reyna from Dortmund will celebrate his debut in the starting XI at this tournament.
Wales – England: Al-Rajjan (Ahmad bin Ali Stadion)
Wales: After a 1-1 draw against the USA and a 2-0 loss to Iran, star striker Gareth Bale’s side are going into the final group game on a poor footing. In any case, the Welsh must win against their big neighbors to even have a chance of reaching the round of 16. First-choice goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is suspended after his red card from the last game, with Danny Ward standing in for him.
England: The team of head coach Gareth Southgate is not mathematically through, but in practice it can hardly be pushed out of one of the two top places. Rotation is conceivable and to be expected, especially in the offensive area. Perennial player Jude Bellingham could also get a break. With a victory in the British duel, England would secure the group victory.
During the group phase, up to four games take place every day – it’s easy to lose track of things. That is why we have summarized all groups for you in the 2022 World Cup schedule.
