The battle to see who finishes top of World Cup Group E could be decided on Saturday when Germany take on Ivory Coast in Toronto . Both nations are level on three points after starting their campaigns with victories, albeit in very different circumstances. While Germany kicked off with a 7-1 drubbing of debutants Curacao , Ivory Coast snatched a 1-0 victory over Ecuador thanks to a stoppage-time Amad Diallo goal.
With Curacao looking certain to finish bottom of the pile and Ecuador still having to play group favourites Germany in the final round, it seems likely this weekend's game at BMO Field could be key.
Germany were not perfect against Curacao despite the scoreline, but they will look to have ironed out any issues and our opening Germany vs Ivory Coast prediction is for Julian Nagelsmann's side to beat Ivory Coast 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 @ 9/2 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost .

Form Guides
Germany form guide
Germany already looked in ominous form as they came into the World Cup on the back of nine-match winning streak, but their demolition of Curacao sent out a real statement of intent. The four-time world champions were always expected to beat the smallest nation to qualify for a World Cup but, as evidenced by Spain’s goalless draw with Cape Verde, not everything always goes to plan for the big boys.
But it did for Germany who, save for a first-half wobble when Curacao equalised through Livano Comenencia which sent the crowd wild, put their opponents to the sword to record one of the biggest World Cup wins, Kai Havertz scored twice, with Felix Nmecha , Nico Schlotterbeck , Jamal Musiala , Nathaniel Brown and Deniz Undav also on the scoresheet from the Germany World Cup 2026 squad .
Stuttgart striker Undav , a second-half substitute in Houston , has now scored 29 goals for club and country over the last eight months, including four in his last four Germany appearances and he is 11/8 to net against the Ivorians. We also fancy Havertz to make his mark again, with the penalty-taking Arsenal forward 6/5 to score at any time.
Ivory Coast form guide
Ivory Coast were again indebted to star man Diallo for getting their World Cup campaign off to a winning start. Amad struck a stoppage-time winner to decide Sunday’s clash with Ecuador , a fortnight after netting the deciding goal as Ivory Coast stunned France 2-1 in a friendly.
The twinkle-toed Manchester United winger also netted three times as the Ivory Coast reached the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals at the start of the year and now has seven goals in 20 appearances for his country.
The 23-year-old is sure to cause Germany's defence problems and he is 10/3 to get his name on the scoresheet in our World Cup tips today. We also like the look of the Toronto clash being level at half-time before Germany pull away to win in the second half at odds of 15/4 .
