Result

HALF WIN

What shaped the view

Both teams already have 3 points; a draw is useful for Côte d'Ivoire and not damaging for Germany given their +6 GD, so the game state can become controlled rather than chase-heavy.
Germany start a high-skill front four, but Côte d'Ivoire’s XI has a compact Sangaré-Kessié-Oulaï midfield screen plus strong central defenders, which suits damage limitation.
Away +1.25 at 1.80 is preferred to Home -1.25 at 2.00 because Germany need a 2+ goal win to beat it, while a one-goal Germany win still gives the away side a half-win.

Why it made the board

Complete

Côte d'Ivoire are set up with enough midfield protection and transition outlets to avoid an open repeat of Germany’s Curaçao match. Germany remain the stronger side, but the handicap asks them to clear a tough 1.25 margin against a side that can rationally protect a draw or narrow loss in Matchday 2 group context.

Main risk

Regression: Germany’s Musiala-Wirtz-Sané-Havertz unit and deep attacking bench can still break the game open if Côte d'Ivoire concede first and have to expand.
