Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast will meet again in the CAF Africa Cup 3rd round at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan Monday, January 22, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Equatorial Guinea has put in a great performance in this competition so far. They are unbeaten, and after drawing 1-1 against Nigeria in their opener, they cruised to a 4-2 win over Guinea-Bissau. Former Mallorca winger Emilio Nsue scored a hat-trick and Josete Miranda also scored in the second half. This win shows the strength and determination of this team in this competition.
On the other hand, Cote d’Ivoire failed to build any momentum after their 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in the opener. They lost 1-0 to Nigeria in a very tight match. This defeat puts them in a difficult position as this match is a must-win match for them. A draw would benefit Cote d’Ivoire, who would finish in the top two in the Group A table.
Cote d’Ivoire became the first host nation to lose in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations since Equatorial Guinea’s 1-0 loss to Zambia in 2012. They are under immense pressure to deliver a better performance in this match.
Meanwhile, Equatorial Guinea scored four goals for the first time in an African Cup of Nations final and will look to continue their form in this match. Les Éléphants have kept clean sheets in their two Africa Cup of Nations meetings against Equatorial Guinea.
National Thunder have made it to the knockout stages in their last three appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations and will look to maintain that streak. They are currently at the top of Group A and even a draw would be enough for them to earn a place in the next round.
Les Éléphants saw their unbeaten run come to an end after eight games on Thursday and they will look to hit back with a win. They need to improve their finishing in front of goal as they have scored just two goals from 24 shots in two games so far.
In their history, these two teams have met three times in all competitions, with two meetings at the Africa Cup of Nations. 2015 winners, Cote d’Ivoire, have an unbeaten record in this competition with two wins and one match ending in a draw. The home team has outscored Nzalang Nacional with a score of 5-1 in this match.
