Saudi Arabia and Ivory Coast are stepping up preparations for the 2026 World Cup with an international friendly scheduled for Friday. The two nations will face off at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, hosted by Saudi Arabia. We have a prediction for the match below.
For both nations, this marks the first friendly match since securing their World Cup tickets. For the Green Falcons, it is a chance to extend their record to four games without defeat.
They topped their group in the fourth round of the qualifiers ahead of Iraq and Indonesia. Saudi Arabia will now seek a consistent run ahead of the global showpiece, having only won four of their last 10 matches.
In Ivory Coast’s first-ever meeting with Saudi Arabia, the African champions will be out to extend their impressive run. They come into this match having won six times in their last 10 matches and only lost twice.
The backbone of their recent success has been in defensive solidity. The Elephants have only conceded in two of their last 10 matches. Right ahead of this game, they kept five straight clean sheets, winning three of the five matches.
When playing away from home, the Ivorians registered just one defeat in the last five outings. They conceded one goal in the five away matches.

Our Saudi Arabia vs Côte d'Ivoire Prediction
Saudi Arabia registered three clean sheets in their last five home matches. They’ve undeniably been a strong outfit when playing at home and will hope to show this against the African champions. Ivory Coast will not be the easiest to crack, though.
The African giants come into this game off the back of a strong run, especially in defence. Meeting another strong outfit defensively can only mean we are on to a low-scoring affair. Our prediction for Saudi Arabia v Ivory Coast is for less than 2.5 goals.
