Polish coach Pawel Janas has ripped up his pre-tournament notes and looks set to copy the 4-5-1 system that took Poland to third place the last time Germany hosted the World Cup in 1974.The pressure is on the Poles to banish the memory of their nightmare four years ago when they crashed out at the group stage following a 2-0 defeat by co-hosts South Korea in their opening game.
Ecuador's recent form has been patchy but coach Luis Fernando Suarez believes his side will be far tougher than the team which folded on their World Cup debut four years ago.
They will also be anxious to prove they are as capable of winning big games at sea-level as they are at the lung-bursting high altitude of Quito.
The South Americans were unbeaten in their home qualifying games and the only match they won away was also at high altitude in Bolivia.
