Ivory Coast vs. Ecuador Best Prop Bet

Enner Valencia Anytime Goalscorer (+225)

If Ecuador is going to score in this game, it’s probably going to come off the foot (or head) of Enner Valencia.

Valencia led the way with six goals in Ecuador’s qualifying games. The team only scored 14 goals in total.

Ivory Coast vs. Ecuador Best Prop Bet

Things are obviously different in the World Cup than in friendlies, but all three games these teams played in had three goals leading up to the tournament.

I like the OVER to kick things off here, and the both teams to score (+115) could be worth a play if you’re looking for some plus odds.

Pick: OVER 1.5 (-165)
