Senegal vs. Ivory Coast Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Senegal vs. Ivory Coast

In a highly anticipated matchup on Monday in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16, Senegal will continue their title defense against Ivory Coast at Charles Konan Banny Stadium.

The victor of this encounter between two football powerhouses in Africa will advance to the quarter-finals, where they will meet either Mali or Burkina Faso. These two teams are set to face off on Tuesday evening in Korhogo.

Slightly more than a year has passed since Senegal secured a 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast at the CAF African Nations Championship. In the upcoming clash, Senegal aims to replicate that performance, bringing them just three wins away from successfully defending their AFCON title.

Despite the attention garnered by surprise teams Equatorial Guinea and Cape Verde during the group stages, the Lions of Teranga displayed excellence in their first three matches. They stand out as the sole team in the competition to achieve a perfect record by winning all three group stage matches.

What to remember – Senegal vs. Ivory Coast

The hosts managed to reach the last 16 with some fortune, but it seems their journey may conclude at this stage. Senegal, on the other hand, navigated the group stages with exceptional performances, showcasing their superiority over most teams still in the competition. Anticipating another commanding display, we expect the defending champions to continue their impressive run in this matchup.
