Gabon vs Ivory Coast: Preview
Gabon are playing for nothing but pride. The Panthers were defeated 1-0 by Cameroon and 3-2 by Mozambique, failing to achieve a fourth appearance in the knock-out rounds.
They scored as many goals as Ivory Coast in their first two matches. Both of the reigning champions' goals came courtesy of Manchester United man Amad Diallo.
Amad scored once to beat Mozambique and again to take the lead in the draw against Cameroon.
Whatever happens in their final group fixture, Ivory Coast will be reassured by their path to glory two years ago.
Ivory Coast hosted AFCON 2023 but only made it out of the group stage in third place having been beaten by Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.
They were the lowest-ranked of the successful third-placed teams but went on to defeat Senegal, Mali, DR Congo and group opponents Nigeria to lift the trophy for the third time.
Emerse Fae's team haven't been convincing thus far and will be looking for a springboard into the round of 16.
The winners of Group F will play Group D's runner-up – almost certainly Sudan or Burkina Faso – in the next round.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Gabon 0-2 Ivory Coast
Another Amad goal as the Elephants find their feet at AFCON 2025.
