Cote DIvoire vs Nigeria (IVC vs NGA) Match Preview

IVC vs NGA Match Preview: The African Cup of Nations match between Cote DIvoire vs Nigeria will be played on Thursday, 18 January 2024 at 10:30 PM IST.

Cote dIvoire, the hosts for this edition of the continental competition, got their campaign underway with a 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau. Seko Fofana opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the match while Jean-Philippe Krasso doubled the hosts lead in the 58th minute.

Nigeria had a rather disappointing start to their campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Equatorial Guinea. Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, assisted by Ademola Lookman, equalized within two minutes of Equatorial Guinea taking the lead.

The three-time winners had themselves to blame at the end of the 90 minutes for a draw as they were quite wasteful in front of the goal, scoring just once from their seven shots on target.
