Gambia will be back on show in the 2027 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, traveling to Ivory Coast for matchday three action. The two nations lead Group C of the qualifiers with six points, Gambia being second on goal difference. Ivory Coast won the last four meetings with the Gambia, and our prediction will side with them here too.
After back-to-back away matches, the Ivorians will be back at home. They lost 1-0 in a friendly with Cameroon the last time out. Apart from that, their only other defeats were at the World Cup – against Norway and Germany.
The Elephants are expected to open up a three-point lead here. Six clean sheets in 10 tell the tale of their defensive solidity.
Gambia are still fresh from their stunning comeback away to Ghana, where they recovered from 2-0 down to win 4-2. They had opened their campaign with a 2-1 victory against Somalia at home and look very confident in these qualifiers.
Gambia haven’t won three straight matches in the last five years and will be looking to set a new record. They did go unbeaten in four matches twice in 2022, but those involved draws.
What seems problematic for the visitors is the fact that they haven’t managed a lot of clean sheets lately. They have none in the last five matches, and only two in 12 outings.
Meanwhile, Gambia failed to score in each of their last four meetings with Ivory Coast.

Our Ivory Coast vs Gambia Prediction
This match brings together the two sides leading Group C, both being tied on six points. Ivory Coast are favorites to win here, as they face a nation they have dominated in recent meetings. They also have the advantage of playing at home, where they rarely lose.
Gambia will be let down by a wobbly defence that has conceded two or more goals in four of the last five matches. They will have a tough time against this Ivory Coast side. Our prediction for Ivory Coast v Gambia is for Ivory Coast to win to nil.
