International Friendlies: Ivory Coast v Slovenia Betting Preview
Check out our match preview before you make your bet. We have the information you need to make the right decision. Including head to head matchups, recent form, goals scored/allowed.
Slovenia are missing many key players, including most of their defence. Most will miss this match for domestic club games in the Slovenian and Norwegian leagues. We could expect Slovenia to lose this match even with a full squad, so look for their depleted team to struggle against the Ivory Coast.
While betting on friendly games is usually a risk since teams have minimal motivation, this game is different. The Ivory Coast players need a win in this final friendly to boost morale before the World Cup kicks off. They will field a nearly full strength squad, including the prolific striker Didier Drogba up front.
The game will be played in Paris, giving the Ivorians a virtual home advantage in front of thousands of supporters. Expect a resounding Ivory Coast win, by at least a two-goal margin.
Fixed Odds Pick: Ivory Coast (1.85 odds) at Eurobet Asian Handicap Pick: Ivory Coast -1/2 (1.83 odds) at Bet365 Stake: 8/10
