Germany starting lineup prediction today: Who will start vs. Ivory Coast at World Cup?

Germany couldn't have scripted a more perfect start to its 2026 FIFA World Cup journey. A 7-1 victory over Curacao, the Germans were able to coast to three points in the opener and now they're hoping for an encore. One of the World Cup favorites, Germany is off to a much better start than the last time when it was knocked out in the group stage in the 2022 World Cup. That dominate effort against Curacao means Germany can clinch a spot in the next round with a win against Ivory Coast. Les Éléphants also claimed victory in the group stage opener, defeating Ecuador 1-0 in Philadelphia. Just like Germany, the task is simple for Ivory Coast – win and advance. That makes the contest in Toronto a fun one with plenty on the line in the second group stage game.
