Ivory Coast is the host of the tournament, so the support of the stands plays a big role for the team, because by the strength of the squad this team can hardly be called the favorite of the tournament. It should be noted that Cote d'Ivoire won only one meeting at the tournament - in the first round of the group stage against Guinea-Bissau (the main outsider of the tournament), after Ivory Coast lost two games, and in the playoffs passed only on a penalty shootout.
DR Congo can also be called a "dark horse" at the tournament, as all matches at the group stage the team ended in a draw, in the playoffs also did not do without a penalty shootout. But still in this match we do not expect a penalty shootout, as Ivory Coast at home African Nations Cup will do everything to make it to the finals.
Prediction: Ivory Coast to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.3
