It is West Africa vs Central Africa in our second AFCON semi fixture. This looks very much like it is going to be an extremely tight one, the stakes are high as is the pressure to deliver for both teams. Ivory Coast have a slight advantage in the most recent head to head meetings, but there have been two draws in their last three meetings, so in this light we will be settling for a 1-1 draw in this one.
While there haven’t really been many goals in most of the games played by these two teams in this tournament, their games have managed to come alive in the knockout stages with the two sides recording two both teams score games. Also, all but one of DR Congo’s games have featured at least one goal each from participating teams.
Both teams just managed to qualify from their different groups after struggling to take just three points each, they did qualify under different circumstances though, Ivory Coast taking the best loser route while DR Congo qualified as the second best team in group F, both teams have also only managed to win one game each in normal time, so who will take this one?
