Check out our full Egypt vs Ivory Coast preview below, featuring the latest online sports betting odds for your weekend football bets.
Egypt vs Ivory Coast Preview
Egypt had to rely on extra-time to get the better of Benin in the last 16, eventually winning 3-1 thanks to late goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Salah.
It was another unconvincing display from the Pharaohs, who failed to flex their footballing muscles in the group stage.
A dramatic 2-1 win over Zimbabwe on Matchday 1 was followed by a 1-0 success over South Africa and a 0-0 draw with Angola.
Ivory Coast were also a little disappointing in the opening round, but their fuse was certainly lit in the last 16.
After a 3-2 win against Gabon on Matchday 3 of the group stage, The Elephants hit top gear against Burkina Faso, winning 3-0 in a dominant display.
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo was on the scoresheet once again, strengthening his claim as one of the continent’s brightest talents.
The last time these two nations met in a competitive setting was at AFCON in 2022, with Egypt winning the last-16 tie on penalties following a 0-0 draw.
Egypt vs Ivory Coast Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Egypt vs Ivory Coast Betting Tips
Player to score or assist – Amad Diallo @ 2.60
As mentioned above, Diallo is quickly establishing himself as a generational African talent. The Man Utd star has three goals and an assist from four appearances at AFCON, and it is quite ridiculous that Ruben Amorim wasted him at right-wing back during his Old Trafford tenure. Against an Egypt side struggling for form a tad, we are backing Diallo to land another decisive blow for Ivory Coast.
Player to score or assist – Mohamed Salah @ 2.77
But even though Egypt are perhaps not at the level we have seen in previous editions of AFCON, Salah remains one of the biggest attacking threats at the tournament. Three goals in three appearances is yet more evidence of his enduring class, while his overall AFCON record is typically fantastic. In 22 matches on this stage, the Liverpool star has tallied 10 goals and four assists, which makes the price above look even more appealing!
