When is Qatar vs. Ecuador at FIFA World Cup? Updated TV schedule, time, odds image

Amid the relative fanfare around the Netherlands and Senegal in Group A, Qatar and Ecuador will have designs on becoming surprise success stories of the 2022 FIFA World Cup when their campaigns, and the tournament as a whole, start at Al Bayt Stadium.

With Oranje ranked eighth in the world and the Lions of Teranga arriving as Africa Cup of Nations holders, a positive result on opening night holds particular potential to be crucial for these teams.

The tournament hosts are the group outsiders, and their first appearance at the World Cup comes against opponents who took part for the first time in 2002 and made a quarterfinal showing on their debut.

Below are all the details to follow the Qatar vs. Ecuador match, including the kickoff time for fans around the world.

Qatar vs. Ecuador odds, prediction

Qatar have produced a promising run of results in the build-up to the tournament without facing opponents as strong as Ecuador, whose current sequence of six successive clean sheets makes it seem unlikely that there will be a flurry of goals in the curtain-raiser.

Ecuador are ranked six places above Qatar in 44th. Their past three matches have delivered goalless encounters with Iraq, Japan and Saudi Arabia, and they held Brazil and Argentina to 1-1 draws earlier in 2022.

  • Pick: Under 2.5 goals (10/21)
  • Prediction: Qatar 0-1 Ecuador
