England vs. Cote d'Ivoire

An International Friendly at Wembley stadium. Cote d'Ivoire boasts a talented trio in forwards Dazet Zaha and Sebastien Haller, plus winger Nicolas Pepe. While these teams have never met, both Pepe (Arsenal) and Zaha (Crystal Palace) know the country and their opponents as they play in the Premier League. Cote d'Ivoire is on a 9-3-3 run anchored by a defense that has allowed just 10 goals. That included 0-0 DRAWS against Ghana and Mozambique. They bring that defense with them away from home with ties in six of 12 International Friendly matchups. 12 of their last 16 International Friendly road games have sailed UNDER 2.5 goals. England's defense has allowed just 5 goals in its last 17 matches, including 1-1 ties versus Poland and Hungary, and a 0-0 scoreless DRAW against Scotland. 10 of their last 17 International Friendlies have gone UNDER 2.5 and the wagering value is on defensive deadlock. For my Max Play, take England/Cote d'Ivoire to DRAW and for a second pick on this match, book the UNDER.
