Ivory Coast vs Nigeria Prediction and Preview

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

My heart tells me that Nigeria wins this 2-1 with Osimhen a menace. However, my real fear is if we fail to play 4-5-1 which is necessary to checkmate Ivory Coast's midfield. Nigeria will give maximum 110% effort like we have never seen before. Bet on it.

I’ll keep saying it. Afcon is not about formations. The team that wants it the most is more likely to get a result. We must outwork them before tactics begin to matter.

Nigeria 3 Ivory Coast 2

CIV 3 - 2 Nigeria

my brother! good to e-see you.

Good to see you too brother !!! I am around

It will be one thing the SE’s best matches in recent times because CIV will play an open game with us and not a low block strategy which we have had challenges with.
Just like our match against Egypt in the 2021 AFCON was one of our best in recent times because it was an open match, I expect the same today.
The CIV crowd will be silenced today.
N’d#$% and Diomande are good defenders but they have limited international experience, same with Singo, and this will probably be the biggest test for them in their international careers. I would not be surprised if they bring Kossonnou back for this match

[YUJAM]

Hopefully the match lives up to its hype. But it looks promising.

The d#$%/Osihmen contest should be interesting.

The Ivorians can be a bit fragile towards the end of games so I do think Nigeria has a reasonable chance of a positive result.

But I think their midfielder strength and home crowd support give them a slight edge today

Well done to those who predicted a win for the SE. Most of us couldn’t see where the win would come from.

To be honest it’s nerves. If yall could just be objective about it, you’d see we have what it takes. The big question was around tactics, and we got it spot on.

I don’t think we’re favourites, but no one is gonna wanna play us.

[cchinukw]

Ivory Coast will win. No doubt. My reasons are all over the forum.

2 - 1 is same as 1 -0, so I am right. And the rest shall come to pass. Even Damunkey has started preparing lineup for the round of 16.

Nigeria will beat Ivory Coast 2 - 0 or 2 - 1. Ivory coast will beat Equatorial Guinea and we will beat Guinea Bissau. CIV and Nigeria will qualify from the group, period.

you predictions are always wrong

[1naija]

Moderators, can we go through this thread and compile the list of traitors and suspend them from the forum for the next 2 games. Uncle ANC should get 3 games suspension for his prediction.

Yeah. When I saw EQG vs GB 4-2, and then seeing our coach changed formations to a more realistic one, I knew we had a better chance of getting a result.

My prediction was based on how we were playing up until this point. If we played 4-2-4 we would have been in trouble.

… but we don’t play 4-2-4. We play 4-4-2; big difference


Cheers.

Still better than your overrated overhyped u20 Senegalese midfielders that could not beat a bunch of Israeli soldiers. in the U20 world cup
