Ivory Coast vs Nigeria Match Preview and Prediction
Ivory Coast vs Nigeria: Nigeria and Ivory Coast, two of the best teams in Africa, will face off against one another on Thursday evening.
This season, Ivory Coast defeated Guinea-Bissau 2-0 to start the winning streak, while Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea drew. Moving forward, Ivory Coast has won their last four games and is currently riding an eight-game winning streak. Nigeria, on the other hand, has lost its last four games.
Given their past performances in this competition, the majority of people predict that Nigeria and Ivory Coast will advance from the group stage. Without a doubt, we can anticipate an incredible match when these two square off.
Who will win the match between Ivory Coast and Nigeria?
Having the home field advantage will undoubtedly help Ivory Coast, who are playing in their home jersey and are riding an eight-game winning streak. Five of those eight games were victories for the team. This also applies to their inaugural AFCON encounter with Guinea-Bissau.
Nigeria is currently playing inconsistently on the road. Despite playing against weaker teams than Ivory Coast in their recent home games, they have lost seven of their previous ten road games. We anticipate Ivory Coast to get off to a strong start on Friday in light of all these statistics.
