Ivory Coast go into the World Cup as one of the best outsiders in the World Cup Odds. They will be playing in their own continent and that is a big advantage.
Ivory Coast do have some World Cup experience to call upon and most of their players are used to be playing in the Champions League so they won't freeze on the biggest stage of all.

Ivory Coast managed to remain unbeaten in their World Cup qualifying campaign and they may be able to transfer that unbeatable form to the group stage of the World Cup.
Ivory Coast are well capable of reaching at least the quarter finals and could even reach the semi finals or even the final. This would mean well outperforming the Ivory Coast World Cup Odds. The safest bet at this stage would be to assume they will race the quarter finals at least.
Back Ivory Coast's stage of elimination to be the quarter final
Ivory Coast are an up and coming side and it is not hard to see them winning a World Cup in the next three or four attempts. As this World Cup will be held in South Africa they will find conditions on their side and they are a value bet in the World Cup odds to go all the way.
With top players like Didier Drogba and Kolo and Yaya Toure they have great players all over the pitch and should not be written off if you want to make the World Cup odds profitable..
Ivory Coast World Cup odds should be backed and then when they reach the quarter finals they should be a much shorter price and you can lay off your bet on Betfair. If you are not so confident about their chances lay off once they have qualified from the Group stage..
Recommended Bet: Back Ivory Coast to win the World Cup and lay off when they reach the quarter final.
We are predicting Ivory Coast will surprise a few at the World Cup, including Sporting Index and you should buy Ivory Coast in the outright tournament index.
