Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone 16.01.2022

Ivory Coast will look to make it two wins in a row in this second Group E fixture against Sierra Leone. The Elephants, in search of their third Continental title, will be gunning for all three points to secure an early ticket to the next phase.

For Sierra Leone, they will draw confidence from their fantastic performance against holders Algeria. In fact, the Desert Foxes were lucky to earn a point in that 0-0 draw given how much of a challenge Sierra Leone mounted against them.

Although the Ivorians are better on paper, we do not expect Sierra Leone to go down without a fight. To this end, we are predicting that Ivory Coast will win or draw with less than three goals scored.
