What Germany vs. Ivory Coast Starting Lineups Mean for World Cup 2026 Predictions
The biggest lineup note is key takeaway is the absence of Elye Wahi for the Ivory Coast. The promising Ivorian striker was denied entry into Canada for Saturday’s match due to an ongoing investigation into match-fixing allegations.
The 23-year-old has already scored 55 goals at the senior club level, debuting for Montpellier at just 18 years old. He started up top in the Ivory Coast’s World Cup opening win over Ecuador this past Sunday.
For PrizePicks, that puts extra focus on players like Ange-Yoan Bonny, Yan Diomandé, and Amad Diallo, who will see more chances based on today’s starting XIs.
