World Cup Predictions Today: Ivory Coast vs. Curacao

Best Bet: Franck Kessie to Score or Assist (-120)

Ivory Coast have been pretty impressive thus far, beating a solid Ecuador squad before losing a tight 2-1 battle to Germany. A win over Curacao would lock Ivory Coast into second in the group, so they have a lot to play for. They are -650 favorites against Curacao and should be able to overwhelm them.

That puts me on Kessie to score or assist. Kessie has been a beast through two games, scoring a goal against Germany and firing two shots. In a match where his side will likely control possession for long stretches, Kessie should have time to push forward into the box on many occasions.
