Ivory Coast

Outlook

On the numbers, Ivory Coast (FIFA #34, 1533 ELO) come in as underdogs who will need to overperform their rating. Across 10,000 simulations of Group E, the model has Ivory Coast advancing 70% of the time, so they are strong favourites to advance from their group. These are statistical estimates and update as results come in, not guarantees.

Ivory Coast have won 7 of their last 10 matches (70% win rate), scoring 20 and conceding 10 (2.0 for and 1.0against per game). This recent form feeds directly into the model's prediction for every match they play.
