MATCH PREVIEW: FORM & KEY PLAYERS

Germany — form and outlook

Germany have rediscovered their identity since hosting Euro 2024 — Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz are among the most exciting young attackers in the world, with Kai Havertz through the middle and Joshua Kimmich anchoring midfield. Julian Nagelsmann's side qualified comfortably and play a high-tempo, possession-heavy game. The depth in the final third is the envy of most nations.

Ivory Coast — form and outlook

Ivory Coast won the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil and carry a battle-tested, physically imposing squad. Franck Kessié drives the midfield, Sébastien Haller offers a proven goal threat up top, and Simon Adingra adds pace on the flanks. They are organised, hard to break down and dangerous on transitions and set pieces — exactly the profile that troubles possession sides.

Key players to watch

The midfield duel of Joshua Kimmich against Franck Kessié sets the tone. Watch Jamal Musiala dribbling through tight spaces and Florian Wirtz arriving late in the box, while Simon Adingra looks to exploit space behind Germany's full-backs. For Ivory Coast, Sébastien Haller's hold-up play is the outlet that lets the Elephants relieve pressure and build their counters.

Tactical angle

Nagelsmann's Germany will dominate the ball and try to pull Ivory Coast's compact block apart with Musiala and Wirtz between the lines. The Elephants will defend deep, stay compact and look to hurt Germany in transition and from set pieces, where their physicality is a real edge. If Germany score early the game suits them; if it stays goalless, Ivory Coast grow into it.

PROP BETS: BTTS, TOTALS & FIRST SCORER

Germany's firepower against a compact Ivory Coast block keeps the totals near the midline, so the cleaner value sits in the goalscorer market.

Both teams to score — Yes 2.15 / No 1.70

This board leans toward No at 1.70. Germany and Ivory Coast both carry genuine goal threats, but the favourite's defensive organisation and the underdog's caution shape the price. Take the Yes at 2.15 only if you expect both ends to click; otherwise the No at 1.70 is the safer side.

Over/Under 2.5 goals — Over 1.85 / Under 1.95

Over 2.5 sits at 1.85 and the Under at 1.95. Germany's attacking quality argues for goals, while Ivory Coast's shape argues for control — the line reflects a genuinely balanced expectation. Shop the number, because a few cents either way meaningfully changes the value on a near coin-flip total.

First goalscorer market

Germany's attack dominates the first-scorer board: Kai Havertz leads at 5.00, with Jamal Musiala 5.50, Florian Wirtz 6.00 and Niclas Füllkrug 6.50. Ivory Coast's Sébastien Haller at 7.50 is the obvious underdog pick. The quirky angle: Musiala anytime at 3.25 — he is involved in the majority of Germany's goal-scoring moves.
