View DealFrance vs Ivory Coast: PreviewFrance's 2026 World Cup preparations enter the final straight as they host Ivory Coast in Nantes, less than two weeks before they open their campaign in North America against Senegal.It is almost a year to the day since Les Bleus last tasted defeat, losing 5-4 to Spain in a thrilling Nations League semi-final last summer, and they will expect to head into the tournament on the back of successive victories with another home friendly to come against Northern Ireland on Monday.Didier Deschamps has built a winning machine since taking over as France coach in 2012, guiding his country to three major finals including their second World Cup in 2018. That came 20 years after their maiden triumph, when the coach lifted the trophy as Les Bleus captain.Deschamps is already a legend of French football, but he will believe that he should have won more than that sole World Cup as a manager - giving him extra incentive to lead his side to glory in North America.SEE ALSO Find out why you should use a VPN to stream footballIt is 12 years since Ivory Coast last appeared at the World Cup, when their group-stage exit in Brazil signalled the end of the golden generation of Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Co.Their qualification for this year's tournament was spearheaded by a new group of exciting talent, including Manchester United's Amad Diallo, Yan Diomande, of RB Leipzig, and Crystal Palace forward Evann Guessand, while defender Guela Doue could face younger brother and France star Desire in this friendly.This is the Elephants' only summer friendly before they start the tournament against Ecuador, while this clash with a European heavyweight should be a useful test ahead of their second group match against Germany.Ivory Coast then face Curacao in their Group E finale, so they will be quietly confident of progressing beyond the group stage of a World Cup for the first time in their history.FourFourTwo's predictionFrance 3-1 Ivory CoastLes Bleus should have too much firepower for the Elephants, but young talents Amad and Diomande could give the hosts something to think about.DisclaimerWe test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses.
