The tactical read
Ivory Coast typically set up in 4-1-4-1 and make their first change around minute 59 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 4 matches, the same shape held up in 2 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' away at Curaçao; the longest wait stretched to 75' away at Germany.
It's been a level stretch results-wise (2-0-2 across 4 matches) - no hot streak or slump to read into, so the numbers above are a fair baseline.
