Germany v Curacao – Sunday, 6pm

View all available markets at William Hill.

• Germany arrive in Texas full of confidence after winning each of their last nine matches in all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over World Cup co-hosts USA in their most recent outing. Julian Nagelsmann’s side will be aiming to go the distance this summer and draw level with Brazil as five-time World Cup winners.
• Despite their historic pedigree, Germany have endured a difficult period on the world stage since lifting the trophy in 2014, suffering group‑stage exits in both 2018 and 2022. Nagelsmann is the man tasked with restoring their reputation, and early signs suggest they are trending in the right direction.
• Goals should be expected on Sunday. Not only does this fixture feature the widest rankings gap of the opening round, but Germany’s last five matches have produced an average of 4.6 goals per game. William Hill offer 2/1 on Germany To Win By 5 Or More Goals on the Price Boost.

——————————-

• Curaçao will make history in Houston as they step onto the pitch for their first ever World Cup match. They are also the smallest nation by both population and land area to feature at the 2026 tournament.
• The Blue Wave are here on merit. They topped their qualifying group unbeaten (W3, D3), finishing above Jamaica to secure their place. Veteran coach Dick Advocaat will also set a record of his own, becoming the oldest manager to take charge of a World Cup fixture at 78 years of age.
• This tournament represents something of a free hit for Curaçao, who enter all three group games as heavy underdogs and therefore without significant pressure. They are 40/1 with William Hill to pull off what would be one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history by winning this opener.

Bet Builder Hub:

• Germany’s last five fixtures produced an average of 4.6 total goals.
• Kai Havertz is expected to start, he’s scored in his last two Germany outings.
• Germany should create plenty of chances, Leroy Sane has provided an assist in three of his last six games for the Germans.
