Curacao and Ivory Coast square off in a crucial Group E encounter with qualification implications on the line for both sides. Anyhow, our prediction leans toward a 3-1 away win due to huge gap in quality between the two sides. Curacao remain in contention for a place in the knockout stages, but only a victory will do after a fortunate goalless draw with Ecuador in round two. Their goalkeeper Eloy Room was the standout performer in that match as Ecuador had 15 shots on target without finding a way through. Adding to their concerns, experienced forward Jurgen Locadia is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock against Ecuador. Despite their inconsistent form, Curacao have shown attacking intent, averaging 1.7 goals per game across their last ten matches.
Ivory Coast, meanwhile, can take plenty of positives from their narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany. The Elephants matched one of the tournament favourites for long periods and were ultimately undone by a late winner. Wilfried Singo's injury is a setback, but Guela Doue is expected to fill the void in defence. Ivory Coast have been in excellent form over a longer period, winning seven of their last ten matches while averaging 1.9 goals scored per game. Importantly, they have failed to score in none of those encounters, highlighting their attacking consistency. Anyhow, a win over Curacao will see Ivory Coast book their spot in the last 32.
As Ivory Coast have looked the stronger side throughout the group stage and produced an encouraging display against Germany, we predict a 2-1 away win, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (an open game is on the cards as both sides will go for a win).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 25 June 2026 at 23:00.
