Ivory Coast vs D.R. Congo Prediction & Betting Tips (7 February)

Last semi-final of this CAN 2024! Just after the match between Nigeria and South Africa, it is the turn of Ivory Coast and DR Congo to engage in a merciless fight to join the last poster of this competition. A meeting which will be played this Wednesday at 9:00 p.m., at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan.

Ivory Coast performs miracles in front of its fans. The Elephants have just come out on top against Mali, even though they played a large majority of the match outnumbered and were trailing by a score of 1-2 after. However, they will still have a lot to do in their semi-final, against the DRC who have still not experienced the slightest defeat since the start of the CAN.

If the Ivorian group was rather spared from injuries, it is the suspensions which tarnish an 11 type which works well. Defenders Kossonou (Leverkusen) and Aurier (Nottingham Forest), who until now represented the defensive solidity of the Ivorians, will not be there (suspended), as will attackers Diakite (Reims) and Kouame (Fiorentina). This should leave room for Haller (Dortmund), who arrived injured and still looking for his first goal in the competition.

The men in form in this selection are the restless Adingra (scorer in the quarter-finals), Sangaré (Nottingham), Kessié (ex-Milan/FC Barcelona) and the former Lensois, Seko Fofana. Gasset (now licensed) had decided to play the competition without the crack Wilfried Zaha (Galatasaray), Cornet (West Ham, 6 goals in 31 caps) or the defenders Simon Deli (27 caps) and Eric Bailly (Villarreal, 49 caps) .
