Ivory Coast vs Zambia Predictions

Ivory Coast to Win & Both Teams to Score at 3/1 – ★★

Ivory Coast to Win 3-1 at 14/1 – ★

• Zambia have won one of their last six away matches
• In 90 minutes, Ivory Coast have lost one of their last 14 competitive matches
• Both teams have scored in Zambia’s last four matches

Ivory Coast look rock solid   

Ivory Coast go into Friday’s game in good form in competitive fixtures. Friday’s hosts have lost just one of their last 14 competitive matches and should have enough class to see off Zambia. Ivory Coast bowed out at the last 16 stage of the last instalment of the African Cup of Nations and boss Jean-Louis Gasset will be hoping his side can cruise through the qualification stage this time round.

Zambia expected to come up short

Zambia have won just one of their last six away matches and are expected to find life tough against Ivory Coast on Friday. Both teams have scored in Zambia’s last four matches and the visitors are fancied to grab a consolation in this one.

The gulf in class between these two sides should be very evident on Friday evening and Ivory Coast are expected to take all the beating. Ivory Coast to Win and Both Teams to Score is the main selection for this one. In the correct score market, I will take a chance on this finishing 3-1 to Ivory Coast. Zambia should grab a goal for their troubles on Friday, just as they have done in their last four matches.
