This Group F penultimate fixture in CAF 2026 World Cup Qualifiers will see group leaders Cote D'Ivoire travel to take on basement boys Seychelles on Friday. Can the Elephants strengthen their bid for automatic qualification for the World Cup with a win against the Pirates? Follow our prediction for the match below.
With two matches left, the race for an automatic qualification spot for the 2026 World Cup in Group F is now down to two contenders – Cote D'Ivoire and Gabon. Cote D'Ivoire fell short of taking a big step towards securing the qualification ticket following a barren draw against Gabon in their last outing in Franceville.
This result saw the two teams – separated by just one point at the summit of the standings – maintain the status quo heading into this penultimate round. Meanwhile, Cote D'Ivoire enter this match unbeaten in their eight 2026 World Cup Qualifiers (W6, D2).
Seychelles have been the whipping boys in Group F. They have lost their eight fixtures mostly by wide margins, including a 9-0 defeat to Cote D'Ivoire in the reverse tie. Ralph Jean-Louis' side only have their pride on the line heading into this match having crashed out of the qualification race.

Our Seychelles vs Côte d'Ivoire Prediction
Cote D'Ivoire head into this match with second-placed Gabon snapping at their heels for Group F's automatic qualification ticket. Emerse Faé's side will go all out for a win on Friday to strengthen their qualification bid.
Meanwhile, Seychelles stand no chance of getting a result against the Ivorians given their poor record in the group. They have particularly struggled with porous defending, losing matches by staggering margins. Hence, it's not just a question of whether Cote D'Ivoire will win, but by how many goals. Our Seychelles vs Cote D'Ivoire prediction is Cote D'Ivoire win + 3-6 total goals.
