Ivory Coast to go on the attack against Morocco

International Football Tips

MOROCCO v IVORY COAST

Tuesday 24th January 2017 – Kickoff: 2000hrs

Football – International – Africa Cup of Nations

It’s the final group matches of Group C in the Africa Cup of Nations this evening and my first pick features Morocco taking on Ivory Coast at the Stade d’Oyem with both teams still in the hunt for a place in the next knock-out phase.

Morocco started their campaign with a disappointing 1-0 loss to DR Congo but quickly bounced back with a 3-1 win over group whipping boys Togo and a draw here this evening would virtually guarantee them of progressing through to the next rounds.

The last time these two teams met was a World Cup qualifier back in November and the game ended in a dour 0-0 stalemate.

Ivory Coast head into this important Group C match on the back of a solid 14-game run without defeat in all competitions, and they’re also unbeaten in the group having drawn 0-0 with Togo and 2-2 with DR Congo.

However, another draw here this evening probably wouldn’t be enough for them to emerge from the group stages, so they need to go on the attack here this evening. Ivory Coast will therefore be looking to their attacking stars Kalou and Bony up front to make a difference here this evening, so I’m expecting them to have a good go at achieving a result here.

Midfielders such as Gradel, N’Guessan and Zaha will also be important and key personnel for Ivory Coast tonight as they chase a win which would virtually guarantee their place into the next phase.
