Germany has won every match at the 2026 World Cup so far. Logically, the mood before the group match against Ecuador should be clear. Logically. However, the PETBOOK editorial animals seem to have other plans for June 25. While the petfluencer community clearly sees Germany ahead, the animal experts from the editorial team are surprisingly cautious this time.

The PETBOOK Animals Believe in a Close Game

For the World Cup oracle by the Tony Petfluencer Agency together with Animonda, three bowls were used again: Germany, Ecuador, and Draw. All bowls were filled with the same treats–theoretically, absolutely fair conditions. Practically, it has become apparent: As soon as PETBOOK animals are involved, “fair conditions” is a very flexible term.

While humans discuss form curves, standings, and game systems, our animal experts apparently consider other factors: bowl position, scent intensity, personal daily form, and in the case of Labradors, probably simply how quickly all options can be cleared at once. Since Germany has won every World Cup match so far, one might have expected clear predictions. However, the editorial animals saw it quite differently.

Yumi Predicts a Draw–and Then Heads to the Pool

Pomeranian Yumi was apparently in a hurry during the current heatwave. Her first choice was the bowl for a draw. Then she checked out Ecuador–and decided that soccer might not be everything in these temperatures.

Instead of continuing to predict, Yumi promptly headed to the pool. A tactical retreat? A cool down after a tough decision? Or simply the most sensible act of the day? Officially, her first choice is counted: a draw.

Hector Finally Believes in Germany

Labrador Hector was surprisingly clear this time. After honoring his breed in the first oracle against Curaçao by emptying all the bowls, he now chose Germany first.

This makes Hector the only PETBOOK editorial animal expert who firmly believes in the next victory for the German team. Perhaps the previous German winning streak convinced him. Or maybe the Germany treat was just particularly tempting.

Elvis Adopts the All-Bowls Strategy

Australian Shepherd Elvis seems to have closely observed Hector’s strategy from the first oracle. He also took several options this time.

His first choice, however, was the draw. Then he tried Germany and Ecuador. For the official count, Elvis’s first bowl is what matters, and that was a draw. Whether this is genuine caution or just a particularly thorough quality check of the treats remains open.

Cat Dino Remains Cautious Too

Cat Dino, who has made clear decisions in previous oracles, was also determined this time. His prediction for Germany against Ecuador: a draw. Dino seems to still not fully trust Germany’s flawless World Cup run. Or he simply expects an opponent who could seriously take points from the national team for the first time.

The Petfluencer Community Sees Germany Ahead

The large swarm oracle of the petfluencer community is quite different. In the current edition of Tobi Langer’s “Sportwaus” or “Sportmiaus,” 64 animals predict a German victory. Fourteen expect a draw, and only four believe in an Ecuador win.

The PETBOOK oracle itself is much more cautious. Yumi, Elvis, and Dino predict a draw. Only Hector believes in Germany. Ecuador does not receive an official first prediction from the editorial animals, even though Yumi found the bowl briefly interesting.

Whether the editorial animals are right with their draw warning or the petfluencer majority correctly predicts the next German victory will be revealed tonight. Germany plays against Ecuador on June 25, 2026, at 10 p.m.
