Germany vs Ivory Coast wraps the Saturday MD2 slate of Group F at the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a> on Saturday, June 20 at 4:00 PM ET \/ 3:00 PM CT \/ 1:00 PM PT, with the two sides meeting at BMO Field in Toronto.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Germany vs Ivory Coast prediction has a clear starting point. Germany blew Cura\u00e7ao away 7-1 in their opener at NRG Stadium \u2014 the biggest scoreline of the tournament so far \u2014 while Ivory Coast ground out a 1-0 win over Ecuador at Lincoln Financial Field. Two wins, two very different shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sets the stakes. Both sides know a win all but books a place in the knockouts and starts the bigger contest of who finishes top of Group F. Germany have the goal-difference cushion and the better-looking attack; Ivory Coast have the defensive shape that will be harder for Julian Nagelsmann’s side to break than Cura\u00e7ao’s was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 prices Germany at -182 to win, the draw at +320 and Ivory Coast out at +475. The line reflects the squad-depth gap, but Ivory Coast’s matchday-one performance was the kind that earns respect \u2014 and money on the under.<\/p>\n\n\n

Market consensus:<\/strong> Kalshi traders price Germany at 65%<\/strong>, the draw at 20%<\/strong>, and Ivory Coast at 16%<\/strong>. Full breakdown below<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Germany vs Ivory Coast: Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany are the right lean, but the value sits in the goal markets and the scorer props rather than the moneyline alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>Odds & Sportsbook<\/th>Confidence<\/th>Why We’re Backing It<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Germany to Win<\/strong><\/td>-182 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(65%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Germany hammered Cura\u00e7ao 7-1 and arrive at the front of the class in this group. Ivory Coast are sharper than that opener suggested but the Dutch-Bundesliga spine of this German side carries the squad-depth gap.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>-138 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(58%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Germany have just scored seven goals in a single match and Ivory Coast’s win over Ecuador came with chances at both ends. Neither manager will park the bus from minute one.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Kai Havertz<\/strong><\/td>+110 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(48%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Havertz leads bet365’s anytime-scorer market and is Germany’s central striker under Julian Nagelsmann. He has the movement and finishing range to feast on chances created against a back four that gave Ecuador’s forwards openings.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>-125 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(56%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Germany conceded once against the lowest-ranked side in the group, and Ivory Coast have the pace in transition to find at least a moment against a German side that pushes its full-backs high.<\/td><\/tr>\n
Nick Woltemade<\/strong><\/td>+140 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(42%)<\/td>		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Woltemade gives Nagelsmann a contrasting target option and sits joint-second behind Havertz in the scorer market. Expect rotation in the second half regardless of scoreline.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Germany to win, paired with Over 2.5 Goals and Havertz to score for a correlated route in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
