Germany vs Ivory Coast was initially slated to be a pre-tournament friendly, but that was canceled once the sides were drawn together in Group E. They now meet in their second match of World Cup 2026 after winning their respective opening games.
Die Mannschaft thrashed minnows Curacao 7-1 in matchday one's biggest ranking disparity, with Kai Havertz scoring twice and Deniz Undav coming off the bench for an impressive cameo that featured a goal and two assists. Although Germany appear well on course to put their group-stage exits in 2018 and 2022 behind them, Julian Nagelsmann's side are fully aware of the threat Ivory Coast pose.
The Elephants ground out a 1-0 victory over Ecuador, finally securing a 90th-minute winner through Manchester United's Amad Diallo, who starred off the bench. The Ivorians were defensively resolute throughout their opener and will look to lean on that solidity again if they are to halt Germany's scoring spree. However, they also possess plenty of attacking quality.
Germany captain Joshua Kimmich singled out Yan Diomande, RB Leipzig's 2025/26 Bundesliga Rookie of the Season, for special praise. "His dribbling is exceptional, a bit like Kingsley Coman at Bayern back in the day," Kimmich said of the Liverpool target.
