France vs Ivory Coast Preview and Team News
France Team News
France will treat this clash against Ivory Coast as the perfect preparation for the World Cup. Their attackers should relish the opportunity to face the Elephants’ defenders, especially in 1v1 situations. Les Bleus are unbeaten in their last five games, including four consecutive victories.
In late March, they defeated Colombia 3-1, with Desire Doue and Marcus Thuram both finding the back of the net. Doue, who recently won another UEFA Champions League title with Paris Saint-Germain, took the joint-most shots (three).
His shooting accuracy and long-ball success rate were both at 100%, helping him bag a brace. Attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki, meanwhile, completed 90% of his passes.
Fortunately for Les Bleus, they are not dealing with any major injury concerns heading into this match.
France predicted lineup vs Ivory Coast (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Digne, Konate, Saliba, Gusto; Kante, Zaire-Emery; Doue, Cherki, Akliouche; Thuram.
Ivory Coast Team News
For Ivory Coast, this game will also serve as a nice tune-up before the World Cup. They’ve won four of their last five outings, most recently overcoming Scotland by a narrow but convincing 1-0 scoreline.
The Elephants had 53% of the ball in that encounter but managed only 12 shots, with just one finding the back of the net.
Their passing accuracy of 90% was quite impressive, as was their ability to connect on half of their long-ball attempts. Goalkeeper Alban Lafont stood out with 53 touches, 11 recoveries, and three crucial high claims. He also made two important saves inside the box.
Unfortunately, the visitors have two key players sidelined with injuries: Evan N’Dicka and Odilon Kossounou.
Ivory Coast predicted lineup vs France (4-4-2): Lafont; Konam, Diomande, Agbadou, Singo; Oulai, Kessie, Sangare, Pepe; Bonny, Diallo.
France vs Ivory Coast Prediction
- Pick: France to win
- Odds: -303 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: France 3-1 Ivory Coast
France, currently ranked No. 1 in the FIFA rankings, are on a different level from their opponents, who sit 34th. The gap in quality between the sides should be evident throughout the match, and we expect the French to secure a comfortable victory.
With the likes of Doue and Thuram operating in the final third, and Kylian Mbappe expected to come off the bench, Les Bleus possess more than enough firepower to overwhelm the Elephants. France are also unbeaten in their last two meetings with Ivory Coast.
France vs Ivory Coast Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: -400 (20Bet)
A match featuring more than two goals looks likely. France boast several dangerous attacking threats, with Doue, Thuram, and Rayan Cherki combining for 64 goal contributions for their respective clubs last season.
The Elephants, meanwhile, can bank on the services of Amad Diallo, who enjoyed a promising campaign with Manchester United and finished with five goal involvements. Captain and midfielder Franck Kessie recorded 17 goal contributions for Al Ahli and remains one of the team’s primary creative forces.
