Germany begin against the smallest nation ever to reach a World Cup, as Curacao complete a fairy-tale rise under Dick Advocaat. The gulf in resources is vast, but openers can be nervy and Germany will want a statement start. For Curacao, simply being here is history; for Germany, the task is to impose quality early and avoid complacency.

Germany ruthless in attack

Germany arrive in formidable scoring form, winning all of their last five: 4-0 over Finland, 2-1 against Ghana, 4-3 versus Switzerland, 6-0 over Slovakia and 2-0 against Luxembourg. That averages 3.6 scored and 0.8 conceded, an attacking output few can match. Jamal Musiala is building back fitness after a long lay-off and is a doubt to start, while Serge Gnabry, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Niclas Fullkrug were left out through injury or form. Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz spearhead the threat, with Manuel Neuer restored in goal.

Curacao defiant on their debut

Curacao reach the finals with spirit, though they were beaten 1-4 by Scotland in their final warm-up, following a 0-0 draw with Jamaica, a 7-0 rout of Bermuda, a 1-1 draw with Trinidad and Tobago and a 2-0 win over Jamaica. Those games average 2.2 scored and 1.0 conceded. Striker Jurgen Locadia is set to miss out after a red card against Scotland, a blow to their limited attacking options. Tahith Chong and the Bacuna brothers carry the creative load for Advocaat's organised side.

Prediction: Germany's firepower should dominate

The teams have never met, leaving recent numbers to tell the story. The Germany versus Curacao prediction is built on Germany's relentless scoring rather than the obvious result: they have hit two or more in every one of their last five, so Germany over 1.5 goals reads as the value pick against debutants likely to defend deep. Around it, a Germany-or-draw double chance reflects the mismatch, the total going over 2.5 suits Germany's output, the match passing over 1.5 looks near-certain, and Curacao — short of Locadia — are tipped to stay under 1.5.
