Ivory Coast vs Germany Live Score: Team News: Unchanged Germany face heavily shuffled Ivory Coast
The official starting lineups are out for tonight’s massive Group E clash at Toronto Stadium, and both managers have thrown very different tactical cards onto the table. Julian Nagelsmann has opted for complete stability. Germany will field the exact same, lethal starting eleven that absolutely dismantled Curaçao 7-1 in their tournament opener.
The mesmerizing, fluid creative hub of Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz remains intact right behind lone striker Kai Havertz, while Aleksandar Pavlović anchors the midfield. In stark contrast, Ivory Coast boss Emerse Faé has dropped a massive selection bombshell, ringing the changes with five major tactical adjustments to the side that scraped past Ecuador 1-0.
Germany XI (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer (GK); Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah, Nico Schlotterbeck, Nathaniel Brown; Felix Nmecha, Aleksandar Pavlović; Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz; Kai Havertz.
Ivory Coast XI (4-4-2): Yahia Fofana (GK); Wilfried Singo, Odilon Kossounou, Emmanuel Agbadou, Ghislain Konan; Amad Diallo, Franck Kessié, Ibrahim Sangaré, Yann Diomandé; Ange-Yoan Bonny, Christ Inao Oulaï.
