Scotland vs Ivory Coast prediction

Scotland were outplayed the other day as they eventually succumbed to a slender 1-0 loss to Japan at Hampden Park in a game whereby the result really flattered a Scottish side preparing for a first FIFA World Cup since 1998.

The Ivory Coast put in an extremely impressive performance to hammer South Korea by four goals to nil with goals from Evann Guessand, Simon Adingra, Martial Godo and Wilfried Singo.

Les Elephants have continually improved in the last couple of years and, up against a Scottish side that are better in the bigger moments, siding with the Ivorians seems a good shout for this one.
