France can grab their third win out of three World Cup matches when they face Ecuador at the Maracana on Wednesday. The French side bagged eight goals in their first two matches but they will still need a draw to make sure they finish top of the group. They could be leapfrogged at the top of Group E if Ecuador beat them by four goals, certainly not likely but nothing is impossible at this World Cup.
Coach Didier Deschamps will probably rest some of his star players, with the likes of Loic Remy and Laurent Koscielny waiting to get into the first eleven. Yohan Cabaye will surely miss out through suspension after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament. Ecuador will probably field the same eleven that defeated Honduras in the previous match.
The probable starting line-ups:
Ecuador: Dominguez- Paredes, Ayovi, Minda, Guagua - Erazo, Antonio Valencia, Noboa - Enner Valencia, Caicedo, Montero
France: Lloris - Debuchy, Varane, Koscielny, Evra - Sissoko, Schneiderlein, Matuidi - Remy, Giroud, Griezmann
My prediction: France to win 3-1.
Ecuador win - 15/4
Draw - 11/4
France win - 5/6
