Match Preview Of Japan vs Côte D'Ivoire

Japan and Cote d’Ivoire will meet on June 4 at the Stade de Tourbillon in Sion. This friendly match which will kick off at 17:00GMT will be the last warm-up opportunity for each of these two teams ahead of South Africa 2010.

Japan players celebrating together after scoring a goal against England in a friendly match.Following their 2010 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final exit, Cote d’Ivoire are looking to get things right ahead of their 2010 FIFA World Cup mission which arguably seems to be harder than any other African team. The Elephants have been sectioned in Group H which is widely believed to be the ‘Group of Death’.

Their first two matches against Portugal and Brazil respectively look extremely difficult but their last one against Korea DPR is a game that they have already won… at least, on paper. But this Asian side, who definitely cannot boast of stars such as Didier Drogba and the Toure brothers could prove more stubborn than one may imagine. For this reason certainly, Cote d’Ivoire have chose to come up against Korea DPR’s continental rivals Japan in their last friendly match fixture ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The Elephants lost concentration against Paraguay on May 30 and eventually let a 2-0 lead slip away for a 2-2 draw in the end. Their defensive mistakes will have to be corrected by manager Sven Goran Eriksson. As much as Cote d’Ivoire should profit from this encounter, Japan should be able to take lessons ahead of their 2010 World Cup opening match against the Elephants’ foes, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

Japan lost an eventful game to England on May 30 where two own goals amid one penalty save from the Samurai Blue was enough for the Three Lions to steal a 2-1 victory at the end of proceedings. The Japanese have lost thrice on the trot and they urgently need to overturn the tables.
