Group E: Ecuador-France & Honduras-Switzerland





Advancement Scenarios:
– France has not officially clinched a spot in the knockout round. However, it will take a perfect storm of craziness

— a blowout loss to Ecuador combined with a Switzerland blowout of Honduras — for Les Blues not to be in the round of 16 (according to FiveThirtyEight, France has just a 0.02 percent chance of not advancing). France will clinch first place in the group with a win, draw or loss of less than four goals against Ecuador. In other words, France is almost certain to win Group E.

– Ecuador will advance with a win over France combined with a Switzerland loss or draw against Honduras, a draw against France combined with a Switzerland loss to Honduras, or a draw with France combined with a Switzerland-Honduras draw.

– Switzerland will advance with a win over Honduras and an Ecuador loss or draw against France, or a draw against Honduras combined with an Ecuador loss to France.
