Preview: Brazil v Ivory Coast

I expect this is going to be a very close and entertaining match. Both sets of players have their quality, but I still think that this Brazilian team lacks of a bit of cutting edge. And the Ivorian can really out-muscle them in their final third. A close game to call, but I am for Ivory Coast to spring a surprise and claim all 3 points today.

Man to watch (Brazil): Lucio
Ivory Coast is very powerful in attack, and I would expect Lucio has to be on top of his game to deal with Drogba and Gervinho.

Man to watch (Ivory Coast): Didier Drogba
Coming back from his injury, the African football icon certainly would play a huge part in any success the Ivorian could enjoy.

Prediction: Ivory Coast to win 2-1
