Senegal vs Ivory Coast Prediction & Match Preview

• Senegal have been the best team so far in the tournament with three impressive wins in three group matches.
• Ivory Coast suffered a horrendous 0-4 defeat at the hands of Equatorial Guinea in the last group game.
• Senegal notched eight goals in three group affairs.

Reigning champions Senegal will put their perfect record to the last 16 round showdown in Yamoussoukro as they take on hosts Ivory Coast on Monday evening at Stade Charles Konan Banny de Yamoussoukro. In the sea of upsets and negative surprises, Senegal left by far the strongest positive impression of all teams at the 2024 AFCON.

The defending champions did not have any problems easing past the likes of Gambia, Cameroon, and Guinea to top a challenging Group C with a maximum record of nine points from three matches. Head coach Aliou Cisse can be thrilled with all segments of play, attack in particular as Senegal bagged nine goals in three mentioned wins.

The story is completely opposite with Ivory Coast who looked completely lost after a 0-4 demolishing defeat at the hands of Equatorial Guinea on the final day of the group stage. Nevertheless, a weird sequence of other results kept the hosts in the competition as the fourth-ranked third-placed team in the groups.

Recent Meetings

• Senegal picked up a 1-0 win over Ivory Coast in the group stage of the last year’s African Nations Championship.
• The teams now have a win, a draw, and a loss each in the previous three head-to-head encounters.
• Only one of the previous four H2H matches between the two outfits provided three or more goals.

Senegal vs Ivory Coast Prediction

Ivory Coast parted ways with head coach Jean-Louis Gasset after a dreadful campaign in the group stages. However, they somehow managed to qualify to the last 16 round thanks to the other results and they seem on the best way to get the French women’s national team coach Herve Renard at the helm for this tie against Senegal. Senegal are just enormous favorites here based on everything we’ve seen from these two teams so far in the tournament. They looked powerful in all three outings and we see great value in backing them to beat the struggling Ivorians at the 2.37 odds.

Ivory Coast’s back line looked dreadful in the 0-4 disaster against Equatorial Guinea seven days ago. Senegal bagged eight goals in three group games. Both teams generally posses some high-profile players in the final third. We have to see the value in backing the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.50 odds.
