Egypt – Ivory Coast Tip Africa Cup of Nations, quarter-finals on Saturday, 10/01/26 at 20:00
Only a quarter-final? Actually, this clash feels like a final match for the Africa Cup of Nations 2025/26. After all, two of the footballing heavyweights of the black continent meet here.
Personally, I liked the “elephants” much better in the round of 16. Both teams had to deal with beatable opponents, but the Egyptians had an exceptionally difficult time against Benin.
In my eyes, the Ivorians are currently working a little better as a collective, which is why I decided to use an Egypt Ivory Coast tip for odds around 1.65, which also sees the favorite of this encounter move into the semi-finals.
Egypt vs. Côte d’Ivoire AI Predictions:
Our data model is like a sniffer dog that sniffs out statistical tracks. I then have the task of evaluating them for you.
The part of the Egypt Ivory Coast AI prediction that I identify as particularly promising in this context concerns the selection of 1st Goal: Ivory Coast at average odds around 2.00.
Because the Ivorians are simply more self-confident at the moment and have already scored the first goal of the respective game in 6 of their last 8 international matches.

Halftime/Full Time 2/2 is another computer-generated suggestion at odds around 3.75 that I paid attention to – even if it requires much more courage than the previous tip!
However, it could pay off, as the Egyptians have only scored a single goal so far in this edition of AFCON before the break. So if the Ivory Coast beat them to the punch on Saturday, they could manage the lead skilfully and even save it over time.
After all, less than 2.5 goals is also a sensible suggestion, as I can very well imagine a 1-0 or 2-0 win for the Ivory Coast. After all, the game is likely to be strongly characterized by tactical caution.
But the values around 1.50 traded on average even by the best betting providers with PayPal are simply too low for me and thus somehow unfortunately almost unplayable.
