Tips:
The Dutch are preparing to host in friendly Ivory Coast. A few days earlier, the Oranje regained victory by winning against Morocco (1-2). Even if the success is nothing glorious, it can raise the morale of the troops. For the next World Cup, qualification has almost become impossible to get for the Dutch, beaten in Bulgaria in March. With 3 points behind Sweden, barrist for the moment, they have no choice. In order to prepare for their sixth match of the group stages in the middle of next week, the Dutch would be well won against the Ivorians to confirm their renewal.The Netherlands had two defeats in their last outings in March: 2-0 in Bulgaria in qualifying for the next World Cup, and 1-2 against Italy, in friendly.
On the reculse, the Netherlands have imposed on the snatch against Morocco mid-week (1-2). Nothing reassuring ...
The Ivorians had a good draw against Benin on Wednesday (1-1).
In its last 17 games, in friendly or official competitions, Côte d'Ivoire has lost only once, for 7 victories and 9 draws. It was against Morocco at the last CAN.The Netherlands, despite their victory against Morocco, is not at best. When competition was stronger in March, the Oranje fell two times against Bulgaria and Italy. Cote d'Ivoire has been showing the muscles lately, with only one defeat in 17 games. We prefer to play on the double chance: draw or victory of the Ivorians.
