Germany and Ivory Coast are clashing at Hitombere Stadium Miyagi in round 3 of Group D in the Olympics 2021 soccer tournament. After starting this tournament with a loss, Germany has bounced back in their second game with a nice win. Ivory Coast is still undefeated in this tournament, and as of right now, they are going to the next stage.

Germany’s defense hasn’t looked well in this tournament with 6 conceded goals, but the good news is they have been scoring a solid number of goals, 5 in total so far in this tournament. In their game against Saudi Arabia, Germany has had 43% of ball possession in that game, 9 shots on goal, 3 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and a solid 86% of the correct passes. Germany was leading at halftime, but Saudi Arabia got back into this game in the 50th minute. In the 67th minute, Germany has conceded a red card, but they were able to score a winning goal in the 75th minute. The final result of this match was 2-3 in favor of Germany. Ache and Amiri have each scored 2 goals for Germany so far, while Uduokhai added 1 goal. Pieper will miss this game because of the red card. Germany is now in 3rd place, and a draw is not going to be enough here because Ivory Coast is ahead of them with 1 point more. Germany must win this game if they want to advance, but their defense is really sloppy in this tournament.

Ivory Coast has been impressive so far in this tournament, and they were able to keep Brazil at bay in their last game. Ivory Coast has had 46% of ball possession in that match, 2 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 84% of the correct passes. Ivory Coast got lucky when Brazil conceded a red card in the 14th minute, even though that wasn’t even a foul, but Ivory Coast also conceded a red card in the 79th minute. Neither team was able to finish their chances, and this game has ended in a 0-0 draw. with 4 points, 2 scored goals, and 1 conceded goal, Ivory Coast is now in 2nd place, and they need at least a draw in this game to advance to the next stage. Kessie is still the only goalscorer for Ivory Coast with 1 goal, while Eboue will miss this game because of the red card. Ivory Coast has shown good defense in this tournament, and they absolutely deserve to advance to the next stage.

Both of these teams will be without important players because of the red cards. Germany has to go for the win here, while Ivory Coast is going through with a draw. while Germany is better in the attacking end, Ivory Coast is better defensively, but I’m not sure they can stop Germany. I will take the over in this one.
