African giants Ivory Coast will be making a return to the pitch for the first time since their underwhelming performance at the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) with a trip to Europe where they will face Russia in an international friendly match at the Krasnodar Stadium on Friday 24th March. The game will serve as a good test for both sides who have not had it going their way in their recent matches. Russia have not played an international game since November 2016 and head to the game with a run of two wins, two losses and a draw in the last five. Playing at home, they have won two and lost the other three in the last five, scoring six and conceding nine. They have won five and lost five in the last 10 home games. Ivory Coast on the other hand, are winless in their last three matches heading to this game. Their last five matches have yielded two wins, two draws and a loss and their away run is even worse. They have just one win, three draws and a loss in the last five away matches and have scored twice and conceded twice in the process. In the last 10 away matches, they have won just four. This will be the second meeting between the teams; the first ended in a 1 – 1 draw.
