In second match I am going to underdog Ivory Coast, they are the host and it is expected to have big support from home supporters.
Senegal is no joke and they are in better form, but H2H matches of this two teams are usually tight.
I think that draw in regular time is possible or narrow win for Senegal.
I didn't know the elephants got the best loser spot. They've sacked their coach, they've not beaten Senegal in the last 3 meetings, and they put up poor performance in the group stage. The odds are not in their favour, it will take a miracle for them to scale through.
Ivory Coast came out the better team in the penalty shoot out against Senegal with a 5 goals to after a 1 - 1 draw.
I thought Senegal would be the better team especially how they started the match with an early goal and how excellently in this year Afcon but in the end, the defending champion could not advance more.
Mendy did well but the fact that He is not good at saving penalty really affected them today, all the goals he conceded were from the penalty spot which include the first goal by the Ivory Coast which lead to the penalty shoot out and while he also cause the penalty, I still think he did great today
