Cote d'Ivoire vs Chad Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024
Cote d'Ivoire will host Chad at the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny on Tuesday in the final round of the 2025 AFCON 2025 qualifiers. The hosts will be keen to end their qualifying campaign on a high, having already secured qualification despite back-to-back losses in the fourth and fifth rounds.
The Elephants were emphatic in the opening three games of the qualifiers, picking up maximum points with comfortable victories, but they failed to pick up any points in the last two rounds, suffering 1-0 losses to Zambia and Sierra Leone. Fortunately for the hosts, their other group members failed to capitalize on these losses, seeing the defending AFCON champions qualify for next year's edition with a game to spare.
Having already missed out on qualification, Chad will be hoping to get some form of consolation result when they travel to Abidjan on Tuesday. The visitors have drawn three and lost two of their five AFCON qualification matches, with their most recent match ending in a 1-1 draw with Sierra Leone.
The visitors currently sit in last place in Group G and will have to wait until the next qualifiers for a chance to end their 60-plus-year wait for qualification to the final stages of the continental showpiece.

Cote d’Ivoire vs Chad Prediction
Cote d’Ivoire are strong favorites going into Tuesday's game and will be hoping to continue their unbeaten home run that stretches back to January. Although they have secured qualification, getting all three points will be important to the hosts as it could potentially see them finish top of Group G.
Chad are on a seven-game winless streak and have a huge task ahead of them this week. They have struggled in front of goal of late and could lose here.
