Saudi Arabia vs Ivory Coast Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | International Friendly

These teams are going to face each other for the first time.

The Saudi Arabia national football team are ready to lock horns with the Ivory Coast national football team for an international friendly. Alinma Bank Stadium will witness this exciting contest.

The Green Falcons are not in the best form at the moment as they lack consistency. They are going to be the hosts in their upcoming fixture and will surely use it to their advantage. The Saudi Arabia national football team need to work on their defence as they have secured a single clean sheet in their last five games.

Les Éléphants have come up with top performances in their last two matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding none. They have not faced a defeat in their last few matches, which will keep them confident coming into their next game. Although the Ivory Coast national football team will be the visitors, they will be gunning for a win here.
