In truth this Ivory Coast side isn’t as strong as the ones we’ve got used to seeing over the past decade. The era of Didier Drogba and the Toure brothers is over but there hasn’t been a huge explosion of fresh talent and it’s been left to other old heads like Salomon Kalou to carry the team forward. With just 2 wins from their last 9 matches they aren’t in great form at all. 9 of their last 19 games have ended level and with some notable attacking absentees so I choose a draw for this game.
