Group C at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers kicks off with Ivory Coast taking on Ghana at the Bouake Stadium on Thursday evening. The last encounter between the Elephants and the Black Stars ended goalless, and we’re leaning toward another low-scoring outcome here for our match prediction.
After clinching their third AFCON title in 2023 (2024), Ivory Coast’s continental reign ended in the quarter-finals last year, where they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Egypt.
The Elephants got to the Round of 32 at the World Cup this year before losing 2-1 to Norway. However, they have still won nine of their last 13 matches across all competitions since the last AFCON.
The hosts have won each of their last eight home games and are unbeaten in 10 on home soil. They also kept clean sheets in seven matches during this period.
Meanwhile, Ghana have endured back-to-back disappointments in the AFCON, failing to get beyond the group stage of the last two tournaments in Cameroon and Morocco.
However, the Black Stars had a solid World Cup campaign, reaching the Round of 32, which included holding England to a goalless draw and beating Panama 1-0 in their opening match.
Notably, though, the visitors' away record has been poor lately, as they have lost five and drawn one of their last six matches on the road, dating back to October last year against the Central African Republic.

Our Ivory Coast vs Ghana Prediction
Both of these sides are regrouping for the first time since the World Cup, and it will be interesting to see how they fare. Ivory Coast are understandably the favourites given their home advantage and recent record on home soil.
However, the cornerstone of Ghana’s run to the knockout stage of the World Cup was impeccable defence, as we saw when they held England to a goalless draw during the group stage. Our Ivory Coast vs Ghana prediction is under 2.5 goals.
