Gabon VS Cote d'Ivoire

The Africa Cup of Nations match will take place on 01/01/2026 at 03:00 UTC between Gabon (home) and Cote d'Ivoire (away).

Gabon's recent record needs to pay attention to its Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and warm-up performance, and the overall strength of the team is in the middle of Africa, and the form may fluctuate greatly. As a traditional African powerhouse, Côte d'Ivoire should have a more stable record recently, especially against slightly weaker opponents, and its pre-match warm-up state and squad integrity need to be analyzed.

the historical head-to-head records of the two teams, Ivory Coast usually has the advantage in terms of overall strength and confrontation psychology. In the past, against Gabon, Cote d'Ivoire had a higher winning rate in key matches, but Gabon may have the ability to cause trouble at home, and the results of recent direct dialogue need to be specifically verified.

are based on the outcome odds offered: Gabon wins 8.50, draws 3.90, and Ivory Coast wins 1.48. The away win odds of 1.48 are significantly lower than home wins and draws, which clearly reflects that the market and institutions are extremely optimistic about Cote d'Ivoire winning, believing that their strength is far better than Gabon's, and the high odds of draws and home wins mean that the possibility of an upset is assessed as very low.

a combination of recent form, the obvious power gap in historical head-to-head and the odds structure that is extremely inclined to win away, a win for Ivory Coast in this game is the most likely result. If Gabon wants to score, they need to rely on super level play and solid defense, but it is extremely difficult. The predicted outcome direction is for Cote d'Ivoire to win.
