Ghana vs Ivory Coast Predictions

Ghana have had some difficult recent results but will want to avoid defeat at home in this West African derby. Ivory Coast are missing some of their most dangerous front players in Zaha and Pepe so will carry less threat. I am tipping a draw.

Ghana have won 1 of their last 4 matches (1 draw) (all competitions).
Ghana have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (all competitions).
Ivory Coast have drawn 2 of their last 4 away matches (all competitions).
Ivory Coast have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches (all competitions).

Head to Head

Ivory Coast hold a 4-3 advantage across their eight previous matches against Ghana with one draw.

The sides last met in 2015 in the CHAN tournament for locally-based players as Ivory Coast won 1-0.

Ghana Form

Ghana qualified for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament as they won four of their six group matches.

A 2-0 home win against Sudan was followed a 1-0 away defeat to the same opponents. Ghana bounced back to draw 1-1 in South Africa and secured qualification with a 3-1 win against Sao Tome.

Their last match saw a 1-0 friendly defeat in Morocco.

Ghana Squad & Team News

Thomas Partey is set to be recalled in midfield having missed the friendly defeat to Morocco.

Ivory Coast Form

Ivory Coast safely qualified for the AFCON as they topped their group with a game to spare.

A 1-1 draw in Madagascar put qualification in danger but they won 3-0 in Niger in their next match. A 3-1 victory against Ethiopia completed the group.

In their last match, they beat Burkina Faso 2-1 as Ibrahima Sangara equalised and Man Utd youngster Amad Diallo got a 97th minute winner.
