Venue: Toronto Stadium, Toronto
Toronto Stadium hosts Germany vs Ivory Coast in Toronto, Canada. The venue is also known as BMO Field, and Toronto FWC26 lists the same matchup for 20 June. Ticket listings identify the game as World Cup Match 33 in Group E.
Toronto gives Germany a different test after their opening win in Houston. Ivory Coast should bring a large travelling support and a more physical midfield than Germany faced in the first match. The first goal can decide whether the game opens into transitions or settles into German possession.
Predicted Lineups
The Germany vs Ivory Coast lineups remain projected until official team sheets arrive. Germany are expected in a 4-2-3-1, with Wirtz, Musiala, and Havertz leading the attack. Ivory Coast are projected in a 4-3-3, with Kessie and Sangare protecting central areas.
| Team | Probable Shape | Projected XI |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | 4-2-3-1 | Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich; Jonathan Tah; Antonio Rudiger; David Raum; Aleksandar Pavlovic; Leon Goretzka; Leroy Sane; Florian Wirtz; Jamal Musiala; Kai Havertz |
| Ivory Coast | 4-3-3 | Yahia Fofana; Wilfried Singo; Ousmane Diomande; Evan Ndicka; Ghislain Konan; Ibrahim Sangare; Franck Kessie; Jean Michael Seri; Amad Diallo; Karim Konate; Simon Adingra |
These lineups should be treated as tactical projections. Germany can adjust the striker role if Nagelsmann wants more penalty-box presence. Ivory Coast can change the right side or striker profile if Fae wants more speed after the break.

Germany Preview
Germany enter ranked No. 10 in the 11 June FIFA men’s ranking. Their listed recent form is W W W W W, with 19 goals scored and 6 conceded across the current public sample. Germany beat Curacao 7-1, so Nagelsmann can keep his main attacking structure.
Germany should control territory and create repeated pressure if the front four rotate quickly. Wirtz can connect midfield with the box, Musiala can beat defenders in tight areas, and Havertz can attack crosses. Germany still need better rest defence against faster opponents.
Germany Current Form and Key Players
Florian Wirtz is Germany’s key player because his chance creation, timing, and final-third control can open Ivory Coast’s midfield block. Musiala gives Germany one-v-one threat, while Kimmich gives structure behind attacks. Germany need Wirtz and Musiala to receive between lines, Kimmich to control counters, and Havertz to attack the box.
Ivory Coast Preview
Ivory Coast enter ranked No. 33 in the 11 June FIFA men’s ranking. Their listed recent form is W D W W W, with 10 goals scored and 4 conceded across the current public sample. Ivory Coast beat Ecuador 1-0 through Amad Diallo’s late goal.
Ivory Coast can compete if they keep the first half compact and attack the spaces behind Germany’s full-backs. Adingra and Amad can carry counters, while Kessie can push through midfield. Fae needs discipline around the edge of the box because Germany can create high shot volume.
Ivory Coast Current Form and Key Players
Franck Kessie gives Ivory Coast their main midfield duels, ball carrying, and penalty-box arrivals route. Sangare adds ball-winning power, and Amad gives the attack a direct right-sided outlet. Ivory Coast need Kessie and Sangare to protect central lanes, Adingra to attack space, and Amad to punish loose turnovers.
Match Prediction
The Germany vs Ivory Coast prediction is Germany 3-1 Ivory Coast. The probability split is 58 percent Germany, 23 percent draw, and 19 percent Ivory Coast. The confidence level is 58 percent because Germany have the better shot and xG profile.
Germany rank 10th, while Ivory Coast rank 33rd in the 11 June FIFA ranking. Germany opened Group E with a 7-1 win over Curacao. Ivory Coast beat Ecuador 1-0 through Amad Diallo’s 90th-minute goal. Ivory Coast can challenge if their midfield wins second balls and releases the wingers early. Germany still have the cleaner route because Wirtz and Musiala give them more ways to create.
