Germany crushed minnows Curacao in their World Cup 2026 opener but may find it a little tougher against Ivory Coast on Saturday, while the Netherlands go in search of their first win against Sweden.
Both games should be entertaining affairs so I’ve put together a bet builder for each clash, and then combined both into one huge 179/1 multi match six-fold.
Netherlands vs Sweden kicks off at 6pm and I’ve opted for three shots on target selections to form a 10/1 tip. Germany against Ivory Coast begins at 9pm and I’ve gone for a bolder 16/1 treble in that game.
I’ve slipped up these tips with Paddy Power and new customers can take advantage of their sign-up offer and back all three bets using the buttons below.
Netherlands vs Sweden Bet Builder
Donyell Malen To Have 2+ Shots On Target (including woodwork)
Netherlands forward Donyell Malen recorded two attempts on target against Japan and can match or better that against Sweden, who perhaps aren’t quite as solid at the back as the Blue Samurai.
Malen tends to be fairly accurate with his chances as he averaged 1.7 shots on target per-game from 3.9 attempts in total for Roma in Serie A. In the Europa League, he averaged three shots per-game and exactly two were either on target or off the woodwork.
Crysencio Summerville To Have 1+ Shots On Target (including woodwork)
Crysencio Summerville scored against Japan and can at least test the keeper against Sweden. Summerville averaged two shots per-game in the Premier League for a poor West Ham side, with 0.5 per-game on target.
Viktor Gyokeres To Have 2+ Shots On Target (including woodwork)
Sweden have two star attackers in the shape of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, and the latter recorded five shots on goal in their thrashing of Tunisia.
Two of those five attempts were on target, while in his first season for Arsenal he averaged exactly one shot on target per-game in the Champions League and 0.6 per-game in the Premier League. Gyokeres struggled to impose himself on games with the Gunners but for Sweden he is very much their main man and he can register at least two shots on target against the Oranje.
Germany vs Ivory Coast Bet Builder
Kai Havertz To Score Anytime
Kai Havertz has scored nine times in his last 13 starts for Germany, and he has scored in four of his previous five matches for club and country following a brace in Germany’s tournament opener.
Franck Kessie To Be Shown A Card
Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie was booked in their opener against Ecuador and also picked up a card in the warm-up friendly with France. The former AC Milan man picked up five yellow cards in 25 league games for Saudi club Al-Ahli.
Yan Diomande To Have 1+ Shots On Target (including woodwork)
Yan Diomande had two shots against Ecuador but both were off target. However, the 19-year-old had a shooting accuracy rate of 50% for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 12 goals in 33 games. The Ivory Coast winger, a reported target for Liverpool, should know this Germany team fairly well and he looks a good value pick at 13/10 to at least test the keeper.
