Live descriptive stats

Analysis
How it plays out
Germany will dominate the ball. Whether Curaçao can stay organised through long spells without it determines if Germany's possession converts to chances. Germany will expect to hold 64% possession. Curaçao need their shape to stay compact without the ball and be clinical when they win it back.
What decides it
Germany's possession game (64% avg) requires patience in the final third and quick ball recovery when they lose it. The scoring threat is evenly split: Niclas Füllkrug (6.5%) and Jürgen Locadia (8.8%).
Off the pitch
Germany travel 8,484km, 3x Curaçao's journey. Second-half fatigue is a real factor at that differential.
The angle
The model gives Curaçao just 2.8% to win. Every World Cup produces group-stage upsets; the question is whether this fixture is one of them.
