Somalia has scored in only two of their last nine matches, and that scoring drought is half the reason why our match predictions favor a low-scoring game. The Ocean Stars host the Elephants on Tuesday in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. For us, the best bet here is under 2.5 goals.
Somalia have been blanked in seven of their last nine matches, including four one-sided losses in World Cup qualifying last year. Their only two goals in that run came in a friendly win over Bahrain and their most recent qualifier, a 1-2 loss to Gambia. The Ocean Stars have not scored twice in a match since November of last year.
Ivory Coast, by contrast, have kept five clean sheets in their last nine matches and won their qualifying opener 2-0 against Ghana four days ago. What's more, the Elephants have scored in every one of those nine games.
But Four of their five clean sheets, though, came against opposition firmly above Somalia's level, including Scotland and Ecuador. That combination of a leaky Somalia attack and a tightening Elephants defense points toward a low-scoring finish.

Our Somalia vs Ivory Coast Prediction
Somalia has scored in just two of their last nine matches and been blanked in seven, making goals hard to come by against anyone. Côte d'Ivoire has matched that with five clean sheets in the same span, including a 2-0 win over Ghana four days ago.
Somalia's own qualifying opener also finished low-scoring. And both trends only point toward a tight afternoon between the Ocean Stars and the Elephants. Hence, our Somalia vs Ivory Coast prediction is Under 2.5 Goals.
