Ivory Coast Preview – Can Ivory Coast secure passage?
Ivory Coast sit top of Group E having recorded a 1-0 win against Equatorial Guinea followed by a 2-2 draw with Sierra Leone and they now may only have to grab a point against Algeria in this final game of the group fixtures.
However, although Ivory Coast have lost just three out of their last 16 matches in this competition, their last meeting against Algeria ended in a penalty shoot-out after the scores were level at 1-1, with Algeria winning the shoot-out.
Ivory Coast have managed just one win in their previous four meetings against Algeria.
Algeria Preview – Can Algeria secure vital win?
A 0-0 draw with Sierra Leone was followed by a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea which has given Algeria a slow start to their Africa Cup of Nations campaign and now they need a win to keep their hopes of a knockout place alive.
Algeria do possess good pedigree in this competition though as they’re the current holders of the African Cup of Nations trophy while the bigger picture shows that they’ve lost just one of their last 10 matches at this level.
Algeria have also picked up seven wins in the process as well and this should give them a decent chance of gaining a result here.
