Gabon close out a disappointing AFCON 2025 campaign against an Ivory Coast side still firmly in control of their Group F destiny.
While the Panthers are already eliminated, the Elephants arrive unbeaten and targeting top spot after disciplined performances against Mozambique and Cameroon.

Ivory Coast’s campaign has been defined by control and efficiency rather than spectacle, with Amad Diallo emerging as their decisive figure, scoring in both group matches so far. Emerse Fae’s side know a win here could secure first place and a favourable last-16 draw.
Gabon, by contrast, play for pride. Defeats to Cameroon and Mozambique ended their hopes early, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to feature in what could be his final AFCON appearance.

With pressure lifted, Gabon may play with freedom, which could open the game.
With Ivory Coast chasing progression and Gabon intent on restoring pride, goals at both ends remain firmly in play in a fixture that could be more open than the standings suggest.
