Belgium Côte d'Ivoire betting prediction
 Belgium |
|  Côte d'Ivoire |
Betting suggestion:
Belgium have a squad with several quality players and are going through a phase of enormous confidence, that is, it is expected that they will not have difficulties to reach the goals. On the other hand, Côte d'Ivoire have also shown some great details in the attack and in this game they should try to surprise the powerful Belgium. That said, we imagine a very open game, making risking in favor of the "Over 2.5 Goals" market be of great value.

Preview
Belgium and Côte d'Ivoire meet at Stade Roi Baudouin, in a friendly match, the first of the year for both teams. There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 05‑03‑2014 and ended with the final score: Belgium (2‑2) Ivory Coast. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Côte d'Ivoire presents significant differences between home and away performances.
Analysis Belgium
The home team plays its first friendly match of the year, after not having played any friendlies last year. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 13 wins and 2 losses in away matches, with 38 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 14 wins and 1 draw at their stadium, with 54 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got a home win against Iceland by (5‑1). In the last 9 home matches Belgium has won 8 and tied 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 9 of the last 9 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 7 out of 9 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 13 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 10 of those 13 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them.
The Belgium national team come to this clash with a great 5-1 home victory over Iceland, in a game counting for the League of Nations: the goals of the team were signed by Axel Witsel, Michy Batshuayi (2), Dries Mertens and Jeremy Doku. In this friendly match against Côte d'Ivoire, manager Roberto Martínez should privilege the maintenance of the ball and the organized attacks, especially through the right aisle: Alexis Saelemaekers is very fast and competent in transporting the ball for the attack. Romelu Lukaku should compose the attacking front of this team, which is very strong in finishing. For this game, the manager cannot count on Dries Mertens, a player who is quarantined.

Analysis Côte d'Ivoire

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification, they got an away loss against Ethiopia by (2‑1). In the last 8 away matches Côte d'Ivoire has won 3, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.
Ivory Coast come to this game with a 2-1 loss to Ethiopia, putting an end to the three consecutive victories in several competitions: the only goal of the team was signed by Serge Aurier. Manager Patrice Beaumelle should keep the team in 4-3-3, privileging the defensive organization and counterattacks by the aisles: Nicolas Pépé should be part of the team's wings, being very strong on the counterattack. On the other hand, Franck Kessié is the conductor of the Ivory Coast midfield: the AC Milan athlete is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. For this game the coach can count on all his players.
