Curacao vs Ivory Coast Preview
Curacao take on Ivory Coast in this FIFA World Cup Group E game at Philadelphia Stadium (Lincoln Financial Field), with kick-off set for 17:00 on Thursday 25 June.
Curacao must win to advance to the knockout stages, while Ivory Coast have their fate in their own hands in the battle for second place.
Philadelphia Stadium is an open-air venue where partly sunny skies and a temperature of 29°C (84°F) are expected at kick-off.
Curacao opened their World Cup campaign with a heavy 7-1 defeat to Germany before drawing 0-0 with Ecuador at Kansas City Stadium. Dick Advocaat's side managed just 25% possession and three shots on target against La Tri.
Ivory Coast began the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Ecuador before suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany at Toronto Stadium. The Elephants recorded 40% possession and two shots on target, with Franck Kessié scoring their only goal.

Confirmed Lineups
Curacao confirmed lineup (3-2-4-1): Eloy Room (GK), Jurien Gaari, Armando Obispo, Deveron Fonville, Joshua Brenet, Sherel Floranus, Tahith Chong, Livano Comenencia, Leandro Bacuna, Juninho Bacuna, Jurgen Locadia.
Ivory Coast confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Yahia Fofana (GK), Guela Doue, Odilon Kossounou, Ousmane Diomande, Christopher Operi, Ibrahim Sangare, Franck Kessie, Amad Diallo, Nicolas Pepe, Yan Diomande, Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Main Match Prediction
There’s a strong case for backing Curacao +2.25, especially at generous Asian Handicap odds of -123 for this Group E clash. The underdogs should perform above expectation levels.
Ivory Coast are clearly the better team, but we believe Curacao can avoid a heavy defeat. Hot conditions could contribute to a slower-paced game, while the Elephants only need to win and have little reason to chase a big margin.
Curacao also defended much better in their second game against Ecuador than they did in their opener against Germany and that gives us confidence to back them on the Asian Handicap.
