WAFCON: Tanzania vs Ivory Coast – Prediction & Betting Tips

Match Preview 

WAFCON Group B fixtures are about to reach their conclusion as Tanzania face the Ivory Coast in a match that could have a major say in the final standings. Tanzania have already exceeded many expectations with their spirited performances, including a surprising win over South Africa. The same can be said for the Ivory Coast, who have looked every bit like genuine contenders for a place in the knockout rounds. 

Tanzania announced themselves in style by upsetting defending 2022 WAFCON champions South Africa 2–1 in their opening match, proving they can compete with Africa’s elite. They were unable to build on that result in their second outing, slipping to a 2–1 defeat against Burkina Faso despite creating several promising opportunities. Despite this, the Twiga Stars are still in a strong position to reach the quarterfinals. 

Ivory Coast’s women have enjoyed a more consistent campaign so far. A convincing 4–1 win over Burkina Faso showcased their attacking quality before they recovered from a two-goal lead slipping away to earn a 2–2 draw against South Africa. While it may not have been a win, a draw still added a valuable point to their tally. 

The Ivory Coast comes into today’s match just one point ahead of Tanzania. There is no reason Tanzania won’t feel like they have a real chance at taking the win and moving up in the standings. This will surely be a close fight. 

Head-to-Head 

In the past, these two sides have faced each other four times and sit totally level, with two wins each. Ivory Coast has the smallest bit of difference with one more total goal (5) compared to Tanzania (4) across those matches, but that won’t play a large part in determining the results here.

Both Teams to Score – Yes 

Since both teams are in good form right now, you can expect both to fight for valuable goals that could determine their place in the quarterfinals. Despite Tanzania showing some phenomenal plays recently, the Ivory Coast already sit at the top of the standings and that will show in their confidence.  

Prediction 

Tanzania have already shown they belong at this level and will take plenty of belief into this encounter after a memorable WAFCON tournament thus far. However, the Ivory Coast women look like they are ready to take the win after a highly competitive match. Ready to back your favourites? Place your bets on Bet.co.za.
