🚨 Germany v Ecuador and Ivory Coast v Curaçao line-ups | OneFootball

The World Cup evening kicks off with a mouth-watering Germany-Ecuador clash and an intriguing Ivory Coast-Curaçao match at 22:00 (Group E, Matchday 3).

Ivory Coast and Ecuador are battling for second place in a bid to secure direct qualification for the round of 16. Courageous Curaçao, along with its record-breaking goalkeeper Eloy Room, heads into the game as an outsider hoping to grab a ticket to the next round.

The line-ups for both matches are now known.

Despite qualification and top spot already being secured, Julian Nagelsmann has chosen to field his strongest XI. The Germany coach had explained this decision at a press conference the day before, saying he wanted to allow his team to build even more chemistry ahead of the knockout stage. 

Deniz Undav’s situation continues to raise questions. Despite his three goals, which make him Germany’s top scorer at the World Cup, the Stuttgart striker once again has to settle for a place on the bench.
