Germany vs Ivory Coast Prediction 

Germany comes into this match leading the group due to their +6 goal differential, but they will want to secure a win here to lock up the group. Germany is one of the most talented teams in the world, but Ivory Coast looked strong in their opener. Ivory Coast got a nice win against Ecuador and they defended well. I think Ivory Coast realizes they have to be very conservative in this game and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them just sit back and defend. Take the under 3 here.
