France vs. Ivory Coast Odds
France vs. Ivory Coast Game Preview
France has the Champions League champions, and PSG’s title only enhanced the pressure on the national team. Didier Deschamps’ unit is among top three favorites to win the title, and the game against Ivory Coast will be a perfect test for the Gauls.
Mbappe and the guys have won the previous 4 matches, including 1-2 against Brazil and 1-3 against Colombia, both on the North American continent. We expect to see Deschamps putting his best players here, and not mixing the starting lineup.
Most of the Ivory Coast players play in French teams, so they know the Gauls very well. The Elephants are going under the radar ahead of this World Cup, and they could do well in the USA.
The last two matches Emerse Fae’s unit had won. Both were with a clean sheet, vs. South Korea 0-4 and Scotland 0-1. The latter game was the first after four in a row, which included three or more goals.
France vs. Ivory Coast Head to Head
In 2022, France won a friendly game 2-1. Ivory Coast took the lead through Pepe, but Giroud and Tchouameni flipped the score.
France vs. Ivory Coast Predictions
This game will be physical and demanding, but we expect France to triumph in the end. They are a better team and play at home.
