Cote d’Ivoire vs Gambia Prediction

Only goal difference currently separates these two sides, with Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia locked together on six points at the top of Group C. Cote d'Ivoire's success has been built on the strength of their backline, who have racked up consecutive shutouts. 

A 2-0 win over Ghana was followed by a crucial late show in Accra, which saw Herve Renard's side break Somalia's hearts in another victory by two goals to nil. Renard has clearly lit a fire under this team, and he has them extremely well set up defensively.

Gambia's offensive firepower, meanwhile, has carried them into the top two. After beating Somalia 2-1, they made a real statement against Ghana, overwhelming the Black Stars on their way to a 2-4 win. That makes this Cote d'Ivoire's biggest defensive test yet. However, when you compare the two squads, the hosts look to have that bit of extra quality, especially in the middle of the park In a critical game such as this, their superior back line could be what makes all the difference. Therefore, consider backing Les Elephants, but only via the safety of the draw no bet market.
