Team News

Ivory Coast
Guinea-Bissau
  • The host nation look set to be without injured duo Simon Adingra and Sebastien Haller for their group opener.
  • Guinea-Bissau should head into this clash with just defender Nanu as a doubt.

Prediction

  • The home side have won their last three matches, including a 5-1 pre-tournament friendly victory against Sierra Leone.
  • Ivory Coast were knocked out in the last 16 of the 2022 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations by Egypt, in a penalty shootout.
  • Guinea-Bissau were beaten 6-2 by Mali in their AFCON warm-up friendly last weekend, and will certainly have to increase performance levels to have a chance at a shock result here.
  • The 'Wild Dogs' exited the group stages of this tournament in 2022 without scoring a goal.
  • The host nation should cruise to an opening victory here.
