Germany vs. Ivory Coast Preview

Germany

Julian Nagelsmann’s side made an absolute statement in their opening fixture, delivering a ruthless 7-1 triumph against Curacao. This was expected from the Germans, who don’t have any mercy in big competitions.

Sure, Neuer conceded a goal, but we have to say that many underestimated Curacao, and this team isn’t as weak as it seems. It’s more likely that the Germans are much stronger than anyone thinks.

Germany won in each of its past 10 matches, netting two or more goals in 9 of those encounters. Their recent rivals were respective names, Ghana, the USA, Switzerland, etc.

Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast is on fire, having won the past 5 games and 7 of the previous 8. They are an often-overlooked team, which hasn’t been in the media much, and usually forgotten by pundits and the public in general.

The Ivorian game plan will center completely on absorbing pressure and utilizing their superb pace on the counter-attack. So far, that has brought results, as in 5 of their last 7 competitive outings, they have successfully restricted opponents from finding easy spaces in the box.

Do remember that this team defeated South Korea, Scotland, and France ahead of the World Cup. They aren’t afraid of big names, nor do they respect any team on the globe, especially with the confidence they have now.

Germany vs. Ivory Coast Predictions

German defense is kinda vulnerable; we saw that on numerous occasions, especially against teams with dominant flanks. That’s why Nagelsmann has to be careful when pressuring the Ivory Coast, as their pacey wingers can do plenty of damage. The Elephants won’t open and attack, but rather wait for the chance to hit on a counter. Even though many believe this will be a high-scoring affair, we don’t share the same opinion. Germans can settle for a tie here as well, as they have a superb goal difference. With a point, both units are in the next round. That’s why we take under 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
