2024 African Cup of Nations Semifinal Matchup: Nigeria vs. Ivory Coast – Odds, Schedule, and Expert Forecast
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2024 is set for an exciting finale as Les Elephants of Ivory Coast and Super Eagles of Nigeria will face off in the final on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
The host nation, Ivory Coast, started their campaign with a win over Guinea Bissau but faced challenges in their group stage, losing the next two games. However, they managed to bounce back in the knockout stages, winning one game after extra time, one by penalties, and one by a 1-0 margin in regulation. Their most recent victory was a hard-fought semifinal against D.R. Congo.
Nigeria, on the other hand, has been the most impressive team at the tournament. They have not conceded a single goal in the four games they won in regulation and showed their resilience in the semifinal against South Africa, winning in a penalty shootout (4-2). Their only loss came against Ivory Coast in their first encounter, but since then, they have won every match in regulation.
Ivory Coast, considered a weaker team player-for-player compared to Nigeria, will have the advantage of playing at home. However, it is not expected to significantly affect the outcome of the game.
The AFCON final will start at 3:00 PM ET, and beIN Sports USA will broadcast the highly anticipated match. Fans around the world are eagerly waiting to witness this clash of two strong African teams in the final of the 2024 AFCON.
