Cote d’Ivoire vs. Egypt 2013 Deliver Monday Friendly

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Cote d’Ivoire vs. Egypt 2013 (live score below) will deliver the first of two international friendly soccer matches this Monday. As one of the last soccer games before the African Cup of Nations, these two countries will get to adjust whatever modifications they need to make before entering into critical matches this year.

Monday’s Cote d’Ivoire vs. Egypt game (start time 7 am PST) is Cote d’Ivoire’s first match this year. But this will be Egypt’s second match in less than a week. Four days ago, the team shocked news after being shut out by Ghana. Can they change that this Monday?

In their last five matches, Egypt has surprised news by earning only one win. The team, moreover, has struggled on offense. They failed to score against Ghana last week. And in their showdowns against Georgia and Tunisia in November and October, they failed to score as well. Prior to a draw against Georgia, the team was defeated by Tunisia in October. While picking up another draw last August against Oman, the team’s only win was last October. Then Egypt delivered a 3-0 shutout of Congo.

For Cote d’Ivoire, the situation has been better. While battling in far less games than Egypt since last year, Cote d’Ivoire has won three of their last five matches. The team won their last two matches. First in September, they defeated Senegal, impressing news with a 4-2 final score. Then in November, they shut out Austria with a 0-3 victory. But earlier last year, the situation was different, officials remind news. While beating Tanzania in June, Cote d’Ivoire was defeated in June and August by Russia and Morocco.
