Côte d'Ivoire AFCON pedigree but real quality gap

Musiala vs Kessie — key midfield battle

Germany attack too deep for any Group E side

Match Analysis

Germany: Germany in Cruise Control

Germany arrive at MD2 having set the Group E tone with a massive MD1 win over Curaçao. Against Côte d'Ivoire they'll face a genuine opponent — reigning AFCON champions with real quality in Haller and Kessie.

Nagelsmann will keep his attacking shape but set up slightly more cautiously in midfield. Germany's defensive transition when Kessie tries to carry is the key tactical battle.

Côte d'Ivoire: Côte d'Ivoire Must Contain the Germans

Côte d'Ivoire's best path is to frustrate Germany early and make the game scrappy. Their AFCON experience is in managing pressure over 90 minutes — they kept it tight in the AFCON knockout rounds.

If Haller can win the aerial battle against Germany's center-backs, set pieces become a real threat. Germany have conceded from corners in 3 of their last 8 matches.
