Our Prediction for Ivory Coast vs Gambia
The Ivorians are one of the strongest teams on the African continent. They proved this last year by winning the "home" Africa Cup of Nations. They've qualified for the next tournament, though not without slip-ups. Furthermore, they were ousted from the African Nations Championship by Burkina Faso: they won at home 2-0 but allowed the opposition to make a comeback. Gambia also played in the AFCON but had an unsuccessful run, losing all three matches. This year, they won't participate at all. Instead, they'll be at the Championship—after a couple of goalless draws, they won in the penalty shootout.
In the qualifiers, Emerson Fae's team performed better. In 2024, they started with clean-sheet victories over the Seychelles, Gambia, and Gabon. Only in Kenya did they fail to score, ending in a goalless draw. In the last round against Burundi, everyone noted Gessan's early goal. Omar Colley and company lost not only to the Ivorians but also to Burundi and Gabon, winning only against the Seychelles underdogs. Hosting Kenya, they led 2-0 and 3-2 but let the victory slip in the 90+ minute.
Aller and company score an average of 1.6 goals per match, conceding less than half—only 0.4. The visitors have a negative ratio of 1.6/1.4.
