Ivory Coast vs South Africa Prediction & Tips
At the Al Salam Stadium of Il Carico, the Ivory Coast faces South Africa at its African Cup debut. Most of the experts put Ibrahim Kamara’s Ivory Coast in that batch of second-tier teams that can aspire to win the cup and among the men to watch with more curiosity there is certainly the Milan player Franck Kessié, without forgetting Wilfried Zaha of the Crystal Palace. Fresh from the 4-1 friendly victory against Zambia with goals from Kodjia, Seri, Cornet and Bony, the Ivorian team will see a South Africa team that has been shaped by the Englishman Stuart Baxter and is certainly not considered among the selections that can get far, but beware of possible surprises. Canceled the last friendly with Angola, in the previous one, South Africa drew 0-0 against Ghana.
Ivory Coast has won 4 of the last 5 games played.
The Ivory Coast remained unbeaten in 11 of the last 12 games played with 7 wins and 4 draws.
South Africa unbeaten in 15 straight games with 5 wins and 10 draws.
There have been 6 Under 2.5s in South Africa’s last 8 games.
Ivory Coast favored although Kamara team’s success rate is high, confirming a race that is certainly not easy. To consider the quota for the Under 2.5, instead, that has occurred very often recently with South Africa in the field.
