Equatorial Guinea Preview – Can Eq. Guinea hold their own?
Equatorial Guinea have reason to be quietly confident about their chances in this Group E encounter against Ivory Coast as they bring a decent looking five-match unbeaten run into this clash which includes wins against Mauritania, Zambia and Tunisia, all of which have been in the World Cup qualifiers.
Indeed, Equatorial Guinea have suffered just two defeats out of their last 10 matches in all competitions, both of which were against Tunisia, while losing just two of their last six matches in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Their last meeting against Ivory Coast was back in 2015 in an international friendly which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Ivory Coast Preview – Can Ivory Coast live up to favourites tag?
Ivory Coast certainly bring an impressive string of results into this Africa Cup of Nations tournament as they’ve lost just one of their last 12 matches in all competitions, that being a 1-0 loss away at Cameroon in a recent World Cup qualifier.
Nevertheless, Ivory Coast have also collected eight wins during this period as well, so they’ll be amongst one of the favourites to win the overall competition but they are susceptible to making slow starts to tournaments.
In addition, Ivory Coast don’t always fulfil their potential as favourites as only four of their last 17 matches in all competitions have seen them win by 2 goals or more.
