Two-time World Champions France will continue their preparations for the 2026 edition when they take on fellow participants Ivory Coast on Thursday in Nantes. This match between ‘Les Bleus’ and the ‘Elephants’ is likely to produce goals, as is the case in their recent matches, respectively, backing our prediction of more than 2.5 goals being scored.
France have qualified for the World Cup with an unbeaten run in the qualifiers (W5, D1) and are drawn with Senegal, Iraq, and Norway in Group I in the competition. The Ivory Coast also topped their group in the African qualifiers with an unbeaten run (W8, D2), while Germany, Curacao, and Ecuador await them in the summer global tournament.
France defeated Colombia 3-1 and Brazil 2-1 in their last set of assignments, international friendlies played in March. Those results made it an unbeaten streak of nine matches (W8, D1), including four consecutive victories. They are in great form at home too, winning four in a row.
Ivory Coast defeated Scotland and South Korea in their last set of friendlies in March to underline their credentials. Four wins out of their last five matches (L1) that saw them net 14 goals make the Elephants a tough competitor. Equally proficient on the road, the Ivory Coast have four wins from their last five trips (L1).
