The read

While France are favorites, the friendly nature and likely substitutions make a wire-to-wire win less probable, though still possible given the talent gap.

• France have won both halves in 5 of their last 15 matches (33%).
• Ivory Coast have lost both halves in only 1 of their last 15 matches (7%).
• Friendly context may lead to second-half rotations, reducing the chance of a full-match dominance.
