Mon, 29 Jan 2024 , 20:00 GMT • Stade de Yamoussoukro • Africa Cup of Nations - Round of 16
Senegal vs Ivory Coast Preview & Prediction (20:00 KO)
Ivory Coast, who host this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, welcome the reigning champions Senegal to the Stade de Yamoussoukro for a Round of 16 faceoff on Monday evening.
Sadio Mane and co. provided an immaculate display in the group stages, finishing top of Group C after winning all three of their matches against Gambia, Cameroon and Guinea, however the same cannot be said for the Ivorians.
Despite a strong start with a 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast recorded back-to-back defeats – losing 1-0 to Nigeria, as well as a shocking 4-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea. On the brink of elimination, the football federation decided to part ways with head coach Jean-Louis Gasset.
Results elsewhere though, meant that the Elephants were not eliminated and now find themselves in the last-16 without a manager. According to reports, former boss and current manager of the French national women’s team Herve Renard has been contacted in regards to a possible loan, but Emerse Fae has stepped up as caretaker in the meantime.
With all of the drama going on surrounding the Ivory Coast team, we at SportsLens can’t see past anything but a Senegal victory. It’s been a perfect tournament for the Lions of Teranga thus far, and having won the competition last time out – you’d be brave to go against them in this one.
Prediction: Senegal 2-0 Ivory Coast

Senegal vs Ivory Coast Betting Tip 1: Senegal To Win @ 13/10
Our first tip for your Monday night Senegal vs Ivory Coast AFCON last-16 bet builder is to back the Senegalese to reign triumphant in normal time, priced by leading UK betting sites at 13/10.
As previously mentioned, Senegal are in excellent form and are the only side to finish with three wins from three in the group stages. They are now unbeaten in 13 successive competitive matches, with their last defeat coming against Uganda more than a year ago in January 2023.
Ivory Coast’s issues both on and off the field doesn’t bode well for them coming into this one, and despite international tournament hosts typically enjoying deep runs into said competitions – we simply cannot see them progressing past Monday night.
Senegal vs Ivory Coast Betting Tip 2: Ismaila Sarr To Score Anytime @ 15/4
Marseille winger Ismaila Sarr has started all three of Senegal’s games in the group stage, and has impressed the masses with his standout performances.
Formerly of the Premier League with Watford, Sarr provided an assist for Lamine Camara’s goal against Gambia in his side’s opener, before putting on a Man of the Match performance with a goal and an assist in the 3-1 win over Cameroon.
The 25-year-old has four goals and two assists in 19 appearances across Ligue 1 and the Europa League this term, and being a clear threat in front of goal – we’re backing him to score at anytime against a struggling Ivorian side on Monday, priced by leading UK bookmakers at 15/4.
