Kai Havertz scored twice, with Jamal Musiala registering too, and Nagelsmann&#8217;s side go into Saturday&#8217;s game looking to seal their knockout-stage place with a game to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivory Coast secured a dramatic 1-0 win over Ecuador in Philadelphia, with Amad Diallo slotting home a stoppage-time winner to silence a side many neutrals had tipped to push Germany in this group. It was a composed, disciplined display that showcased exactly the defensive resilience Fa\u00e9 has built. They arrive in Toronto knowing a positive result could deliver the biggest moment in their World Cup history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only previous meeting between these two nations ended in a 2-2 draw in 2009. With that match being a friendly, this will be the first competitive meeting between Germany and Ivory Cost.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381273\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381470\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#01644a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/29162841\/bet365.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Bet365 Logo\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">bet365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Bet \u00a310 get \u00a330<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Excellent Football Betting Options<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Extensive Bet-Builder<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Multi-Award Winning Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>New customers can sign up using bonus code SQUAWKA365, bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in Free Bets.

He might well just stick with what worked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary decision lies in attack, as Leroy Sane failed to make a significant impact on the right flank. Deniz Undav could come in to replace him, after scoring and assisting twice from the bench against Curacao. Another tweak might see Kai Havertz drop deeper, though the Arsenal man could also lead the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamal Musiala was substituted with a minor thigh issue but should retain his starting spot, with Florian Wirtz on the opposite side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defensive unit is expected to stay unchanged, however. Jonathan Tah and Nico Schlotterbeck are the preferred centre-back duo, with Joshua Kimmich and Nathaniel Brown favoured on the right and left, respectively. Manuel Neuer will start in goal.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

He could deliver exactly that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest change will be in attack, as Elye Wahi has been ruled out of the clash. Amad Diallo could come in to replace him, after scoring the 90th-minute winner off the bench against Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oumar Diakite didn&#8217;t start against Ecuador and is unlikely to start here, with Diallo the more likely option. Fae has another tough call to make in defence. While Odilon Kossounou is fit to start, Evan Ndicka missed the opener through injury. Emmanuel Agbadou started in his absence against Ecuador, and may keep his place ahead of him alongside Singo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The midfield is likely to remain the same, though. Franck Kessie and Seko Fofana are the established midfield pairing, with Yan Diomane favoured in the wide areas. Yahia Fofana will start in goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-germany-vs-ivory-coast-predicted-lineups\">Germany vs Ivory Coast predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Germany (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Neuer; Kimmich, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Brown; Pavlovi\u0107, Nmecha; Musiala, Havertz, Wirtz; Undav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ivory Coast (4-4-2): <\/strong>Y.
