Togo national team isn’t strong as they used to be. The team is already out of qualification for the World Cup 2018. The last year they showed quite average results, starting and ending the year with defeats and recording seven-match streak without a defeat in between. However, the team isn’t involved into qualifying campaign so these results were gained over average opponents. Togo don’t have any notable players in their lineup except Adebayor, who isn’t that good as he used to be.
The opponents have faced one another six times. Two of these head-to-heads ended with draws and four matches were won by Ivory Coast, including three most recent ones with 8-2 on aggregate. We should expect this winning streak to continue and one of the favorites of the tournament should start with a victory.
Prediction for the match: Cote d’Ivoire to win.
