Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissa – Match Preview and Prediction
Ivory Coast vs Guinea Bissau – One of the four teams in Group A that has the chance to go past the group stage is Ivory Coast. On Friday, they will play Guinea-Bissau to begin the Asian Cup.
A seven-game winning streak in all competitions is good for Ivory Coast. However, Guinea-Bissau has lost three of their last four matches, exhibiting poor consistency. This will be their first face-to-face interaction.
Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau – Betting Analysis
With a seven-game winning streak under their belt, Ivory Coast will undoubtedly benefit from having a home-field advantage in this match.
Four of those seven games were victories for the team. Their goal-scoring performance over that period is impressive. In their last four home games, they have scored 16 goals.
Who will win the match between Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau?
Guinea-Bissau appears inconsistent on the road. They have lost seven of their last ten road games despite playing inferior teams to Ivory Coast at home. Given these statistics, we expect Ivory Coast to start well on Friday.
How many goals will be scored in the match?
We have already discussed Ivory Coast’s recent goal-scoring performance. Furthermore, Guinea-Bissau will go into this game having lost 6-2 on the road to Mali in a friendly.
Remember that Ivory Coast has two clean sheets in their last three games and has a respectable defensive line. In that scenario, a goal-filled, one-sided game is what we anticipate.
The odds see Ivory Coast beating Guinea-Bissau in their opening at 1.20. Recent form, especially a terrible road performance versus Guinea-Bissau, explains their edge. Ivory Coast won’t be our first prediction.
What are the best odds for the game?
Looking at what the bookmakers’ view of this game is in the full-time result market, a victory for Ivory Coast can be had for 1.23, a wager on the draw is 5.7, and staking on the winner to be Guinea-Bissau can be had at 15. They’re the top market prices on offer at the moment.
