Experts were predicting Algeria to be amongst top4 candidates to win this AFCON, but champions of the previous tournament showed nothing so far in 2 games.

In the last match of the AFCON group stage, Ivory Coast will have a chance to stay in first place in their group with a victory, while North-Africans Algeria must win here to have the chance to find themselves in the second phase of the competition. However, it is not easy for the team from the north of the continent at the moment, because they showed very bad football in the first two games where they failed to win against the weakest opponents in the group - first against Sierra Leone, 0-0, and then defeat by Equatorial Guinea the result. The winner of the last AFCON is currently without a goal in two games, and the morale in the team is more than bad according to local reporters. Fear has crept into the ranks of the Algerians, so they will need luck next to their balls to win this match. Ivory Coast look good in attack, they scored 3 goals, created a good number of opportunities during the 90 minutes, and last game they conceded a goal in the referee's compensation and allowed the Sierra Leone team to equalize. There is no relaxation for them in today's game either because they certainly want to finish in first place in the group and thus secure a potentially easier rival in the next phase of the competition.

I predict Cote d'Ivoire to stay undefeated in this game, even if Algeria has a really good team on paper, this tournament is definitely not in their hands. Momentum is poor for Algeria so double chance on Sebastian Haller, Serge Aurier, Wilfred Zaha and friends look super valuable bet today!

但上一届杯赛的冠军迄今为止在两场比赛中表现平平。

在AFCON小组赛的最后一场比赛中，科特迪瓦将有机会以一场胜利保持小组第一的位置，而北非队阿尔及利亚必须在这里获胜，才有机会在第二阶段的比赛中发现自己。然而,它是不容易的团队从北方大陆,因为他们表现出非常糟糕的足球在他们的前两场比赛未能战胜小组中最弱的对手——先是对塞拉利昂,0 - 0,然后击败赤道几内亚的结果。据当地记者报道，上一届AFCON冠军目前在两场比赛中都没有进球，球队的士气也非常低落。恐惧已经蔓延到阿尔及利亚队的队伍中，所以他们需要运气才能赢得这场比赛。科特迪瓦在进攻上表现不错，他们进了3个球，在90分钟内创造了大量的机会，上一场比赛他们在裁判的补罚下丢了一个球，使得塞拉利昂队扳平比分。在今天的比赛中，他们也没有放松，因为他们肯定想以小组第一的位置结束比赛，从而在下一阶段的比赛中确保一个可能更容易的对手。

我预测科特迪瓦会在这场比赛中保持不败，即使阿尔及利亚在纸面上有一支很好的球队，这场比赛绝对不是他们的手。阿尔及利亚的势头不佳，所以塞巴斯蒂安·哈勒(Sebastian Haller)、塞尔日·奥里耶(Serge Aurier)、威尔弗雷德·扎哈(Wilfred Zaha)和他的朋友们今天看起来超级有价值!
