Defending Champions Ivory Coast will be fighting it out with DR Congo in their second group match of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The Ivorian won the last edition of the tournament after beating Ghana 9-8 in post match penalties following a barren draw after 120 minutes of play. But the Elephants started their title defense on shaky grounds, registering a 0-0 draw with Togo in their first group match. Congo, their next opponents, beat Morocco 1-0 through a Herve Kage strike on the 55th minute. In the coming match, current form will be a key dictator of the outcome, with Congo appearing more stable after winning six of their last 12 matches. This was as Ivory coast won four of a similar number of matches in all competitions. This match will pit together some of the finest players in the European leagues, making it one of the most thrilling encounters in the tournament yet. Of the 46 players in the two camps, 39 ply their trade in Europe.
