Curaçao's tendency to concede high-volume shots (15+ on target vs Ecuador) shifts probability toward a 0-3 scoreline. Ivory Coast's missing defenders (N'Dicka/Singo) slightly increases the 1-2 and 1-3 probabilities as Chong/Locadia can exploit transition gaps.

Late-game efficiency: Ivory Coast has scored 6 of their last 7 World Cup goals after half-time, while Curaçao has conceded 11 of their last 15 goals in the second half, indicating a high probability of a late breakthrough.

Injuries & Absentees

Curaçao striker Jurgen Locadia is a major doubt with a knock, which would severely limit their already minimal counter-attacking threat. Ivory Coast faces defensive concerns with Wilfried Singo (hamstring) and Evan N'Dicka (thigh) doubtful, likely forcing a reliance on Agbadou and Kossounou in the backline.
