THE PREDICTION
Belgium returned to action in September and extended their winning streak to 12 matches with back-to-back victories Iceland and Denmark in the UEFA Nations League. Roberto Martinez will no doubt want to maintain that winning run, but with a double-header of Nations League matches against England and Iceland closely following this fixture he is expected to leave out many of his first-choice players against the Ivory Coast. The visitors, meanwhile, should field a strong starting XI, they are playing for the first time since last November and are wanting to get in some valuable match action before the AFCON qualifiers resume next month. Although this is the first game that the Ivory Coast have played this year, it does not mean that all of their players are short of match-sharpness and against a weaker than normal Belgium side they look to be good value at +1.5 on the asian handicap.
