Ivory Coast-DR Congo: streaming, TV channel and compositions

Coming from nowhere after a failed group stage in the big days, Ivory Coast is clinging to its dream. The Elephants are one match away from a final at home for this edition of the African Cup of Nations. To do this, they will have to avoid the trap set by the Democratic Republic of Congo, an adversary they do not underestimate.

“ There was more pressure on the previous two matches than on tomorrow’s match (Wednesday), even if it is more important because it is for a place to go to the final. So yes, the pressure is there, but when you do this competition and you arrive in the knockout matches, all matches have their share of pressure, explained Emerse Faé. We will therefore manage it by telling ourselves that it would be a shame to put pressure on ourselves and not play the match to the fullest. We have come from very far, we have made every effort to get our heads above water, so we are not going to give up now and we are not going to foil for fear of not reaching the final », concluded the Ivory Coast coach, propelled into the spotlight after the departure of Jean-Louis Gasset.

On the other hand, the DRC intends to continue to defy the forecasts in a difficult context. Striker Cédric Bakambu recalled the massacres that affected the country. The stage is already set for this match, which will therefore go beyond the simple framework of football.

The expected compositions

Ivory Coast : Fofana – Singo, Ndicka, Boly, Konan – Seri, Kessie, Pepe, Fofana, Adingra – Haller.
