Four matches on the board today. The firmest read is Germany 91% against Curaçao — the model's widest separation on the card. No runaway favourites — the board clusters in the 50–60% band where the edge is in the details, not the badges. The line worth a second look is Ivory Coast v Ecuador: the model has the over at 49% against the books' 32% — more goals than the price wants to pay for.
