It will be difficult, but Germany will win.

This is the assessment of acting head coach of the Vietnam U23 team, Dinh Hong Vinh, in an interview with Tuoi Tre newspaper ahead of the Germany - Ivory Coast match.

And here is Mr. Dinh Hong Vinh's analysis:

"Both Germany and Ivory Coast won their opening matches. Therefore, the winner of this match will have a huge advantage in the race for first place in Group E and secure an early ticket to the knockout round."

The first match-up in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup has been determined.South Africa will face Canada in the first match of the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup.

World Cup 2026 schedule and live broadcast on VTV on June 26th.The schedule and live broadcast of the 2026 World Cup on VTV on June 26th includes matches between Ecuador vs Germany, Curacao vs Ivory Coast, Japan vs Sweden, Tunisia vs Netherlands, Paraguay vs Australia, and Türkiye vs USA.

Germany made a strong impression with their emphatic 7-1 victory over Curacao, but this time their opponent is completely different. Ivory Coast is not only the reigning African champion but also one of the teams with excellent physical fitness, speed, and transitional abilities. This will be a real test to assess Germany's strength.

Under coach Nagelsmann, the German national team possesses the ability to control space, apply high-pressure pressing, and transition quickly. Their greatest strength lies in the midfield, with players like Musiala, Wirtz, and Goretzka capable of creating a numerical advantage and controlling the tempo of the game. When in possession, Germany often deploys a 3-2 or 2-3 formation in the back line to allow midfielders to advance and organize attacks.

However, that proactive style of play also carries risks. When the two full-backs push forward and the team pushes into the opponent's half, gaps will appear behind the defense. This is an area that Ivory Coast is very good at exploiting thanks to the speed of their attacking players and their ability to move the ball forward with just one or two passes.

In my opinion, if Germany can control their turnovers well and organize effective pressing immediately after losing possession, they will maintain their desired game. Conversely, against a fast-paced team like Ivory Coast, any mistakes in reorganizing their formation after losing possession could be costly.

In terms of experience and squad depth, Germany is still considered superior. They possess many players capable of making a difference, and also have many tactical options to adjust during the match. Ivory Coast is the type of opponent that can cause a lot of difficulties for European teams thanks to their physical strength, speed, and fierce fighting spirit.

I think this will be a match where Germany controls the ball more. But Ivory Coast is the team most likely to create dangerous situations from counter-attacks. Whichever team controls the transitions better will have the decisive advantage. I predict Germany will win 2-1."
