Watch Ivory Coast Vs. Algeria Live Stream: 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations Quarterfinal, Start Time, Preview
After a wild Round of 16 that saw several of the favored teams in the 2019 African Cup of Nations suffer upsets, including host nation Egypt, only four teams entering the quarterfinal could credibly be considered among Africa’s best. Two of those teams, Senegal and Nigeria, narrowly escaped their matches on Wednesday to move on to the semifinal. But on Thursday, the other two remaining “favorites” will face off, with only one able to advance. Ivory Coast takes on Algeria in the elimination match, with the winner going on to face the Super Eagles in Sunday’s semifinals, per Bleacher Report.
Looking at history, the two countries could not be more evenly matched with each team winning eight of the previous 23 meetings dating back to 1965, per 11v11, with seven draws. The two teams will break the deadlock in the AFCON quarterfinal that will live stream from Egypt.

In Ivory Coast, that start time will be 4 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time, and 5 p.m. Central European Standard Time in Algeria.

In the AFCON tournament, Algeria and Ivory Coast have met eight times, with the Elephants taking three, the Desert Foxes two, with two games drawn, according to IOL Sport. When they met in the 2015 quarterfinals, the Ivorians got the best of it thanks to a brace from Wilfried Bony. But at age 30, the former Manchester City and Swansea City man has yet to score in three appearances this time around.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Serge Aurier, who captains Ivory Coast, appears likely to miss the match with an injury. Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace scored the lone goal in an unconvincing Round of 16 win over Mali, and is likely to retain his starting spot for the Elephants, according to Goal.com.
