Germany vs Ivory Coast: Goalscorer

Prediction market odds and sportsbook odds often diverge because they reflect different pricing mechanisms. Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and lock in profit margins, while prediction markets like this one are priced by traders who profit from accuracy.

As kickoff approaches, any breaking news about squad changes or player fitness will likely trigger sharp price movements.
