Wednesday, December 24, 2025 | Grand Stade de Marrakech | 17:30 GMT Elephants Launch Title Defense: Can Reigning Champs Ivory Coast Overpower Underdog Mozambique? ⚔️ The Grand Stade de Marrakech hosts a lopsided Group F opener as defending champions Ivory Coast kick off their AFCON 2025 campaign against perennial underdogs Mozambique. Emerse Faé's Elephants, aiming to become the first back-to-back winners since Egypt in 2010, bring superior talent and experience. The Mambas, chasing their first-ever AFCON victory in their sixth finals appearance, hope to frustrate and counter – but history and form point to a comfortable Ivory Coast start.

Current Form – Champions Confident, Mambas Searching
Ivory Coast
Defending champs: Dramatic 2023 winners on home soil; strong qualifiers (2nd behind Zambia)
Recent: Mixed friendlies but unbeaten in 4 competitive; Haller injury blow, but Adingra/Zaha/Diallo firepower
Key: Kessie midfield engine, strong defense (conceded few in qualifiers)
Mozambique
Back-to-back finals first since 1998; qualified 2nd behind Mali
Form: Winless in 7 recent (mostly draws/losses); never won an AFCON match (0W-3D-6L history)
Threats: Geny Catamo (Sporting CP), Reinildo Mandava (Sunderland)
Head-to-Head: Elephants Dominant
Ivory Coast unbeaten (5W-2D-0L in 7 meetings); scored 13, conceded 2. Recent: 3-0 Ivory Coast win (WCQ).
Tactical Breakdown
Faé's Ivory Coast control possession (55%+), press high, exploit wings with Adingra/Diallo for central threats. Conde's Mozambique bunker low (4-1-4-1), counter via Catamo pace – but blunt attack vs Elephants' solid backline.
The Killer Stat
Ivory Coast won 5/6 last AFCON group openers; Mozambique winless in 9 AFCON games + 0 goals in many recent.
Final Prediction
Ivory Coast 3–0 Mozambique
Adingra dazzles early, Kessie powers second, late Diallo seal – clean sheet, statement win. Elephants top Group F early.
Bookies favor the champs heavily – handicap + under screams value. Lock on Sokabet.co.tz; Marrakech magic for holders!
