The Ivory Coast and Mali face off in the CAF World Cup qualifiers on Saturday.

At a glance, this is the Ivory Coast's group to lose. No other team in Group C is a major contender or features as much talent as the Ivorians.

The Ivorians have qualified for the last three World Cups, though the team has yet to unleash its potential and overcome the group stage. The team actually looked headed to get out of Group C at the 2014 tournament but failed in the final game with Greece. Ironically, that was the team's worst performance in the showcase to date. The nation has a record of three wins, one draw and five losses in the World Cup.

Mali has never appeared in a World Cup finals tournament.

Only one team from each group manages to qualify for the showpiece in Russia in 2018.

Who Wins? Prediction

Expect the Ivory Coast to dominate this game 4-0 at home.

Start Time, Schedule and Location
