Senegal vs Ivory Coast Preview

This may be a clash between two powerhouses of African football, but Senegal’s form at the tournament has been strong. Ivory Coast have lost their last two and I expect Senegal to send them packing in the last 16.

Senegal Form

Senegal are looking to defend their AFCON title this year and made a decent start in doing so. The defending champs won their opening game 3-0 against 10-man Gambia.

Thereafter, the Lions of Tharanga saw off Camerron 3-1 with Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diallo and Sadio Mane all on the scoresheet. Last time out Senegal had little trouble in seeing off Guinea 2-0.

In a game Senegal had 12 shots, they scored from both on target. Abdoulaye Seck and Illiman scored second half goals to secure top spot.

Ivory Coast Form

Ivory Coast can count themselves fortunate to be in the competition. They have been way off their best at FCON to this point.

The Elephants began in good form, defeating Gambia 2-0. Christian Kouame and Seko Forfana were the goal scorers. That was followed by a 1-0 defeat to Nigeria.

In their last group game, Ivory Coast were humiliated, losing 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea. Still, Ivory Coast just managed to get through as a best third place finisher.

Verdict

Senegal v Ivory Coast

Senegal have been in superb form in the tournament while Ivory Coast have been uncharacteristically poor. I am backing Senegal to win to nil.
