England vs Côte d'Ivoire Prediction 29 March 2022

Next mid-week we will see a friendly sparring, in which the England national team will test the strength of Côte d'Ivoire.

The current vice-champions of Europe, England are in fifth place in the classification of FIFA teams, which indicates their incredible stability and power. Let us remind you that in the previous five meetings, Southgate's men dealt with Andorra (5:0), Albania (5:0), San Marino (10:0) and Switzerland (2:1), and also shared points with Hungary - 1:1.

The peak of the power of Côte d'Ivoire passed a few years ago. Today this is an ordinary African team without the slightest chance of participating in any major competitions. Moreover, after relatively successful games with Equatorial Guinea (1:0), Sierra Leone (2:2) and Algeria (3:1), the Elephants blundered against Egypt (0:1) and France (1:2).

The advantage of England is visible to the naked eye, since they have not stumbled in matches with opponents of this level for a very long time. Although we don’t think that the hosts will ruthlessly crush Cote d’Ivoire, given the unofficial status of the meeting.
