Korea Republic vs Ivory Coast prediction

Korea Republic finished 2026 with a 1-0 win over Ghana in November. That backed up victories over Paraguay and Bolivia, meaning that the east Asians have only lost one of their last 20 official full-FIFA matches, which came against Brazil.

They now face an Ivorian side that had to give up their African crown over the winter but they remained strong. Les Elephants are back at a FIFA World Cup for the first time since 2014 and have a fun and entertaining squad, too.

Korea Republic appear very difficult to beat and so siding with them would be the way to go here for a friendly that is being played at Stadium: MK in Milton Keynes.

Korea Republic vs Ivory Coast tip: Double chance – Korea Republic to win or draw
