Ivory Coast vs Chad Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Elephants have lost two consecutive games in a row.
Reigning champions Ivory Coast are set to welcome bottom-place Chad in the final game of group D action of AFCON qualifiers at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny on Tuesday looking to finish the group in winning ways.
Although Les Éléphants have secured their place in the AFCON 2025, their recent form has been concerning. The Elephants have lost two consecutive games in a row against teams they should be winning easily. However, this is a good chance for them to finish the group in strong form and also give some minutes to other players to test their qualities as they prepare to defend their crown.
Meanwhile, Chad have endured a tough time in the qualification campaign failing to secure any win in the five games they have played so far in this competition. Goalscoring has been a major issue for them after managing to score one goal in the previous five games which also came from a penalty kick. With their chance over, they will be heading into this game aiming to give their fans a glimmer of joy.
