- 科特迪瓦队在过去九场比赛中赢了六场
- 象牙海岸’；他最近五场比赛进了21球
- 几内亚比绍在过去六场比赛中有五场进球
东道主希望以时尚的方式启动锦标赛
科特迪瓦是今年的东道主；他们希望在主场迎战几内亚比绍的比赛中取得圆满成功。主队在2015年赢得了这场比赛，但自那以后，他们三次尝试都没有超过四分之一决赛，必须克服主办国的糟糕记录，他们在过去八届比赛中都没有赢过。
大象队最近状态很好，在他们的热情支持下，他们应该能够在第一场比赛中取得胜利。几内亚比绍是一支经验不足的球队，24人中有13人的出场次数只有一位数，上一次他们被马里以6-2击败。
幻想中的高分事件
非洲国家杯以得分低著称，但这场揭幕战可能会扭转这一趋势。科特迪瓦最近卷入了一些高得分事件，他们最近五场比赛打进了21球，在这场比赛中可能会有三个或更多的进球。
到今晚比赛时，埃姆普和安亚马的酷热将大致过去，这将增加娱乐事件的可能性。
几内亚比绍在过去六场比赛中有五场进球，正确的得分支持者应该记住这一点，他们可以在失利时进球，为东道主2-1获胜。

- Ivory Coast’s last five games have produced 21 goals
- Guinea-Bissau have scored in five of their last six games
Hosts looking to kickstart tournament in style
Ivory Coast are the hosts of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations and they will be hoping to start the tournament with a comfortable success when they host Guinea-Bissau. The home side won this tournament in 2015 but have not gone beyond the quarter-finals in three attempts since and will have to overcome the bad record that host nations have, they have not won any of the last eight editions.
The Elephants have been in solid form recently and boosted by their fervent support, they should be able to secure a victory in this first clash. Guinea-Bissau are an inexperienced squad, 13 of their 24 are in single figures for caps, and they were beaten 6-2 by Mali last time out.
High-scoring affair fancied
The Africa Cup of Nations has a reputation as a low-scoring tournament but this opening matchup could buck that trend. Ivory Coast have been involved in some high-scoring affairs recently, their last five games have produced 21 goals, and three or more goals looks likely in this clash.
The intense heat in Ebimpe and Anyama will have broadly passed by the time of this night game and that should increase the likelihood of an entertaining affair.
Guinea-Bissau have netted in five of their last six games and correct score backers should keep that in mind, they can get on the scoresheet in defeat, take a 2-1 win for the hosts.
