Germany vs. Ivory Coast World Cup Preview

Germany Stats & Team News
The German unit smashed Curacao 7-1, with Kai Havertz scoring a brace. This was one of the biggest wins in their World Cup history, and it surely boosted the morale of Nagelsmann’s boys.
This was the 10th straight victory for Die Mannschaft, which has scored at least twice in each game during this streak. In fact, Germany scored 3 or more goals in 6 of those matches, meaning they are in excellent form.
Likely Lineup: Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Pavlovic, Nmecha; Sane, Musiala, Wirtz; Havertz
Ivory Coast Stats and Team News
Ivory Coast is in good shape, too. The African team has 5 straight triumphs and 8 wins in the last 10 meetings. They too scored a solid amount of goals, but when looking at the overall results, the Elephants rely more on tough defense.
In 4 of the last 5 matches, this team has kept clean sheets. And may we add that their rivals were respectable names – South Korea, Scotland, France, and Ecuador.
Likely Lineup: Y. Fofana; Doue, Singo, Agbadou, Konan; Diallo, Kessie, S. Fofana, Diomande; Bonny, Toure
Head to Head
The only game between these two teams was back in 2009 when they met in a friendly international. The final result was 2-2.
Germany vs. Ivory Coast World Cup Predictions
The Germans are the favorites here, but we have to say that the Ivory Coast plays excellent football. This should be a dynamic and interesting matchup, with plenty of chances on both ends of the field, which is the reason why we picked over 2.5 goals as our betting suggestion.
Likely Lineup:
