Ivory Coast vs Nigeria – Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan 18, 2024

In a highly anticipated Africa Cup of Nations clash, hosts Ivory Coast will face Nigeria at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé on January 18, 2024, at 5 pm UK. Coming off a solid victory in their opening game, Ivory Coast aims to secure their spot in the knockout stages, while Nigeria, following a draw against Equatorial Guinea, seeks to revive their campaign and keep their hopes of continental success alive.

Analysis

Ivory Coast’s Impressive Form: Ivory Coast, under Jean-Louis Gasset, has been in formidable form, extending their unbeaten streak to seven games. Their opening 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau showcased their attacking flair and defensive solidity. Players like Seko Fofana and Jean-Philippe Krasso, who scored in their last match, will be crucial for maintaining their momentum. The potential absence of Sebastian Haller could impact their forward line, but their depth in attack offers various options.

AD:

Nigeria’s Search for Consistency: Nigeria, led by Jose Peseiro, has faced challenges, with their latest draw highlighting a need for more clinical finishing. Victor Osimhen, a key figure in their attack, will be central to their chances of overcoming the hosts. Their recent record in major tournaments, however, suggests a resilient side capable of rising to the occasion.

Key Match-Up: The battle in the midfield, particularly between Ivory Coast’s Fofana and Nigeria’s Alex Iwobi, could be decisive in swinging the game’s momentum.

Prediction

Based on current form and past performances, Goal.mu/Mauri.bet predicts: Ivory Coast 2-1 Nigeria odds at 10.00 bet365. Ivory Coast’s home advantage and recent form give them a slight edge over Nigeria’s talented but inconsistent side.
