Ivory Coast vs Cameroon: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

The scoreline was not necessarily representative of the state of the game. Ivory Coast were on top throughout, but were undone by blunt finishing.

Cameroon faced Gabon in their own opener, and also came away with a 1-0 win. Etta Eyong hit the winner after just six minutes as Diallo’s United team-mate Bryan Mbeumo drew a blank, coming away with nothing more than a yellow card to show for his efforts.

The victor in Marrakesh will take a huge step closer to qualifying for the AFCON round of 16.

The match will take place at Stade de Marrakech.

Ivory Coast came through their AFCON opener with no fresh injuries and no suspensions.

Amad Diallo will surely hang on to his starting spot after scoring the only goal last time out, though there may be competition for starting berths elsewhere in the front line.

Wilfried Zaha started at striker and drew a blank. He was hooked with just over 20 minutes left to play, with Vakoun Bayo preferred.

Oumar Diakite will also be pushing to start, while the likes of Willy Boly and Evann Guessand were both left on the bench and will hope to come in.
