In a group dominated by Zambia, Ivory Coast has secured its place in the CAN in Morocco. However, Emers Faé’s team is far from being in top form. The Elephants have suffered two consecutive defeats, against Zambia and Sierra Leone. On the other hand, Ivory Coast has been very strong at home with three consecutive victories, achieving seven wins in their last nine matches. To forget about these two defeats, the match against Chad comes at a perfect time. Indeed, the Sao have not won any of their last seven encounters. The Chadian attack is struggling significantly, having scored only one goal during this series. In the first leg of this Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, Ivory Coast won 2-0.
The match between Ivory Coast and Chad will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS 2. The kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 from the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan.
