Africa Cup of Nation match preview: Ivory Coast - Equatorial Guinea

Written by: sportxtipster Published: 04-02 12:01:21

Strongest team in the competition

Ivory Coast surprised me so much by the defensive style that they shown in this competition. But in the end the results are important. Looks like coach Zahoui knows best how the minds of his compatriots are working … I will always remember the game Cameroon – England from Coppa del Mondo Italia `90, when Cameroon was leading in the last minutes 2-1, but they were still attacking, for conceding from a penalty the equalizing goals. It was Lineker the hero there, but if Cameroon would have had the Ivory Coast attitude … Ivory Coast is strong in all the compartments and for this game will play full squad: Tiote, Toure, Kalou, Drogba and Gervinho will be all back in the first 11 after resting on the match with Angola.

The fairytale must have come to an end

Equatorial Guinea is a team that surprised many specialists. Maybe they will not be again too soon on a competition like this one, but anyway have been great for their possibilities. The match with Senegal it wasn`t a single great match. They also won with Libya and offered a good opposition to Zambia. But against a team that plays very disciplined in defensive, like Ivory Coast surely does, Equatorial Guinea will have huge problems in creating chances. They are outsiders and do not see them doing better.

Ivory Coast too strong in the back

Only a huge surprise would make Ivory Coast to concede a goal here. They are killing every attack on 20-30 meters from their net in every match. They are playing with 2 defensive midfielders in front of 4 defenders and are constructing the majority of their attacks on the flanks. The attacks of Equatorial Guinea came on counters on the central area, while on the wings have been very fragile. Expect Ivory Coast to score around 2 goals and not to concede.
