Ivory Coast to an easy win........

...... hope that is the the headline later today, following their final World Cup warm up in Paris.

Opponents, Slovenia, have massive problems. For the midweek fixture against Trinidad and Tobago, they were without most of their starting defence, those players are still missing, plus two others. Despite having the worse of the first half, Slovenia did run out 3-1 winners, with Ceh man of the match, he is also injured today. But wait, it gets even worse, 3 others are unavailable as they are playing in norwegian league games tomorrow.

Don't leave, it gets worse, or better (!), only 12 players originally travelled to France, 5 others will have joined them late last night, having played vital league games for Gorica and Domzale in Slovenia yesterday!

Les Elephants should have a full strength team, all of the support of the french crowd (13 of the squad play in the domestic league) and should run out easy winners.

4 points Ivory Coast 1.85 general
1.5 points Ivory Coast-Ivory Coast ht/ft 3.0 stan james

Good Luck.
