Die Mannschaft looking to build on impressive start

Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany return to World Cup action today, facing a tricky Ivory Coast side in their second group stage outing. Germany’s opening fixture was perhaps the pick of the first matchday as they battered Curacao 7-1, handing the tournament debutants a one-sided beating in their first-ever World Cup match. Kai Havertz was at the double there as six members of the squad got on the scoresheet, going through the gears in style, but will face a much more difficult outing here.

Ivory Coast come into this tie sitting second in the goal difference having failed to best Germany’s goal difference. They were rather less convincing in their opening tie as they beat Ecuador 1-0, with Amad Diallo scoring the winner in the 90th minute after a cagey match in Philadelphia. They will need to buck up their ideas facing Germany, though, who have played their way into the favourites discussion with that rousing victory last week.
