THE PREDICTION

The last time that these two nations met was at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil where the Ivory Coast claimed a 2-1 victory, this is a much different occasion though, as it is a friendly match without spectators present. Both nations are playing their second match of this international match window with Japan having drawn 0-0 against Cameroon, while the Ivory Coast drew 1-1 against a much-weakened Belgium. Both coaches have assembled strong squads but neither team are likely to play with too much intensity with so much competitive football on the horizon at club level and a low-scoring encounter with under 2.5 goals is predicted.
