Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone Odds: Zaha to find himself on the score sheet

Match day two of the Africa Cup of Nations group stages is well underway. The first week has offered us not so many goals, but while high-scoring results have evaded us, controversy has not!
Rounding out the tournament's first eight days is a Group E clash on Sunday at 4pm between Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone.
These two gained a win and a draw in their first fixtures respectively - Ivory Coast coming out as 1-0 victors over Equatorial Guinea, while Sierra Leone held Algeria to a goalless draw on Tuesday.
Here at BettingOdds.com, we've scoured the betting markets for this clash and highlighted two of our best selections for the game, along with some justification behind each and the best price available for both bets.
Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone Tips
Ivory Coast have faced Sierra Leone just seven times in the two nations' histories. Cote D'Ivoire have never lost to the African minnows, drawing in their most recent clash back in 2015 after winning the previous six.
During these meetings, BTTS has landed only twice, with Ivory Coast conceding just two goals and netting 15 times themselves across the seven matches.
For a wider picture, both teams to score has landed in a mere two of the 15 matches at the time of writing (up to and including Senegal and Guinea's 0-0 draw).
This year's AFCON competition has also found goals hard to come by, with 13 of them hitting the under 2.5 goals line (again, up to and including Senegal vs Guinea).
Although he didn't start his team's opening game, Zaha made more of an impact from the bench than his fellow Premier League colleagues in orange. The tricky wide man registered two shots - both of which failed to find the target - but was the joint-highest total of any player on the field.
That affair proved quite low on quality with Max Gradel's effort inside five minutes one of only four efforts on target across the whole match. The same is likely to happen here and the Palace forward is the kind of player capable of creating something from nothing and proving himself to be a match winner.
Zaha's positive 20-minute contribution from the bench could see him start this one, and his five goals from 16 games in the Premier League this term make him a worthy candidate for a goal in this one on Sunday.
