Africa Cup of Nations Betting Preview: Ivory Coast vs Mozambique
Defending Africa Cup of Nations champions Ivory Coast meet Mozambique in this Group F encounter at Stade de Marrakech, with kick-off set for 12:30 on Wednesday 24 December.
It makes sense to back Ivory Coast -1.25 at -118 on the Asian Handicap. The favourites should beat Mozambique by two goals or more, although we have the insurance of half our stake back should the Elephants win by a single goal.
Ivory Coast won their most recent game, beating Kenya 3–0 at home in a World Cup qualifier at Alassane Ouattara Stadium, with Franck Kessié, Yan Diomande and Amad Diallo on the scoresheet.
Mozambique claimed a 1–0 World Cup qualifying victory over Somalia at the Stade Olympique d'Oran in Algeria in their previous match, with Geny Catamo scoring the winner.
Head-to-Head Statistics
The last encounter between Ivory Coast and Mozambique saw the former triumph at home. It was a 3-0 Africa World Cup Qualification victory.
