Seychelles vs Ivory Coast Prediction & Betting Tips

Seychelles vs Ivory Coast Preview

Seychelles are keen to end their losing streak this weekend as they host high-flying Ivory Coast on home turf. The hosts lost 5-0 to Kenya last time out as their attacking threats were nullified completely, while their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed.

At home, Seychelles have only scored in one of their three World Cup qualifiers, while conceding twelve goals. Although, participating in the World Cup finals is out of reach, Seychelles will look to finish this qualifying series on a high. They sit bottom of Group F with 0 points from eight matches.

Meanwhile, table leaders Ivory Coast cannot afford to slip as the World Cup qualifying campaign enters the run-in. The visitors shared the spoils with Gabon in their recent fixture as both teams settled for a barren draw. However, their defensive setup is one that you cannot overlook as they kept clean sheets in their last three matches.

Away from home, Ivory Coast have won and drawn two games respectively in this qualifying round. A slip here could see the visitors forfeit their spot as Gabon is closely following, with a point separating the two nations.

Seychelles vs Ivory Coast Prediction

Ivory Coast are heavy favourites to win because they are unbeaten in the group while Seychelles lost all of their eight matches. The visitors also humiliated the hosts 9-0 in their only head-to-head meeting, and we expect something similar in this contest.

We do not expect Ivory Coast to concede because they are yet to concede in this qualifying series while Seychelles are the lowest scoring team with two goals to their name so far.

Lastly, we expect a high-scoring result because Seychelles’ eight matches in the qualifying series averaged 5.1 goals per game, and nine goals were scored in the only meeting between the two nations.
