Predictions and recommended bets

Main option: “Both will score” – Odds: 2.45

After their surprising defeat against Mozambique, Gabon will compete without pressure. This will allow them to play more openly, which could result in an exchange of goals, as Côte d'Ivoire, with their desire to secure first place, will look to score. We hope to see goals in this match.

Risk bet: Asian Betting – Ivory Coast -1.00 – Odds: 1.79

With the pressure of an unmotivated Gabon and Ivory Coast's need to win, this bet is viable. The difference in quality between the teams is considerable.

Corner bet: Asian bet – Ivory Coast -2 in corners – Odds: 1.80

Since Ivory Coast is expected to dominate the game, it is reasonable to expect them to win in the corners statistic.
