Ivory Coast vs D.R. Congo Prediction Match Details
The second semi-final at the Africa Cup of Nations will see host country Ivory Coast face off against DR Congo on Wednesday evening at Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara.
Ivory Coast Preview & Form
Ivory Coast continues their dream of lifting the trophy at their home ground after qualifying from the group stage as one of the best four in third place. Poor results led to the host nation firing their former coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, after losing 4-0 in the group stage closer to Equatorial Guinea.
The Elephants appointed interim coach Emerse Fae, who have struggled but have led his team to positive results since his appointment. Ivory Coast secured their passage to the semi-finals by eliminating defending champions Senegal and Mali, coming from behind in both instances to advance.
Ivory Coast have been successful in three of their last four appearances at the semi-final stage, and they will capitalize on this form when they play in front of their roaring supporters.
D.R. Congo Preview & Form
D.R. Congo reached their third semi-final in a dramatic style after failing to win any of their group stages, playing draws in all the group stage matches, but they kicked off their knockout stage in great style.
The Leopards sealed their place in the Africa Cup of Nations by knocking out one of the favorites, Egypt, on penalties, and won their first victory at AFCON 2023 in a comfortable style, hitting three goals past Guinea with the scoreline ending 3-1.
D.R. Congo remains unbeaten coming into this match in their last five matches, and they will look to get a win in this match to see them play in the final of the tournament.
