How Curacao vs Cote d'Ivoire sets up

🇨🇼Curacao

Curacao will look to set the tempo, control the opening exchanges, and build through midfield and wide pressure.

🇨🇮Cote d'Ivoire

What to watch: the first duel after every turnover, set-piece quality at both ends, and which manager blinks first on substitutions as the game opens up.
