World Cup Day 10: Germany vs Ivory Coast, Netherlands vs Sweden

On Day 10 of the World Cup, key fixtures include Germany facing Ivory Coast and the Netherlands clashing with Sweden. Germany, without injuries, will be led by Kai Havertz, who scored a net brace against Curacao.

They aim to continue their strong performance after a recent victory. The Ivory Coast, encouraged by a recent win against France, hopes to breach Germany's defense, having previously struggled against Curacao.

The Netherlands, having surrendered leads twice against Japan, will look to solidify their position in Group E against Sweden, who seeks to confirm their place in the knockout stage. The two nations have met twice in World Cup history, ending goalless, with the Netherlands winning three of their last five encounters, including a recent 2-0 victory.

Sweden's squad faces challenges with injuries to key players, while Japan aims to build on their credible performance against the Netherlands despite their loss.
