Greetings, all-stars,

It’s Lucas here, your Chief Predictions Officer at What Are the Odds?

Another day, another insider tip from our friends at CXSports. This time, we’ve got a hot little Cup Of Nations prediction for Wednesday’s Gabon vs Ivory Coast game.

âš˝ Gabon vs Ivory Coast
🏟️ Cup Of Nations
Wednesday 31 December; 20:00 (Europe/Paris)

  • Why we’re watching: There’s nothing better than a nice clean edge coupled with some decent odds.

  • Top 3 Stats: 

    • In 9 previous head-to-heads, Ivory Coast has 5W, 3D, and 1L.

    • The aggregate score across past head-to-heads is Gabon 4-16 Ivory Coast.

    • In this campaign, the Ivory Coast is undefeated (1W, 1D) while Gabon has suffered 2 straight losses.

  • CXSports says: The way each side here has kicked off their Cup of Nations campaign speaks volumes about how this fixture will play out. Both have played 2 games. Both have faced the same opponents (Mozambique and Cameroon). But both have very different results — Gabon lost both games while the Ivory Coast is undefeated (1W, 1D). The head-to-head history in this fixture also points to a similar imbalance, with the Ivory Coast generally dominating both in terms of results (only a single game lost in 9 past head-to-heads) and aggregate goals scored (Gabon 4-16 Ivory Coast). In short, the Ivory Coast has a big edge coming into this game, with the only thing undermining it being Gabon’s ability to occasionally hold them to a draw (3 draws in 9 head-to-heads).

  • Score prediction: 0-2 for Ivory Coast

Bet Option #1

  • Bet: Ivory Coast Victory

  • Odds Range: 1.23-1.53
