The top two nations in Group E meet at BMO Field in Toronto with both sides looking to seize total control of the title race following opening-day victories.
Germany enter this fixture at the top of the table on 3 points after a ruthless 7-1 demolition of Curaçao. Julian Nagelsmann’s side showed no signs of rust in their opener, though the manager will view this clash as the first true test of their tournament credentials against more athletic opposition.
Ivory Coast sit second in the group, also on 3 points, following a gritty 1-0 win over Ecuador. Emerse Fae’s side left it late to secure the win via an Amad Diallo strike, ending a long wait for World Cup football after failing to qualify for the 2018 and 2022 editions. A point here would likely be enough to see them progress to the knockout stages.
