Germany and Côte d’Ivoire face off on Saturday as both sides look to build on opening Group E victories and strengthen their push for a place in the World Cup’s knockout stages.
Germany delivered a statement performance in Houston, Texas, sweeping aside debutants Curaçao 7–1 in a dominant display. Côte d’Ivoire also impressed in its opener, edging Ecuador 1–0 thanks to a late winner from Manchester United’s Amad Diallo.
Played at BMO Field in Toronto, Germany enters the match as the clear favorites on paper, not only due to its opening result but also the depth of talent across its roster. However, Côte d’Ivoire remains dangerous, with strong defensive organisation and pace in attack making it a difficult opponent, particularly on the counter.
With both teams in early control of their group ambitions, this promises to be a compelling contest. Here’s how and when you can watch it.
