Ivory Coast leads Group C in AFCON 2027 qualifying after securing six points from two matches, including a 2-0 win over Ghana and a 2-0 victory against Somalia, giving them a strong goal difference edge. Gambia also sits on six points following wins over Somalia and Ghana, but traders price the Ivorians much higher at around 81.5% implied probability to top the group, reflecting their superior squad depth, higher FIFA ranking, and historical strength in African competitions. Ghana and Somalia remain pointless after heavy early defeats, limiting their paths forward despite remaining fixtures in November and March. The wisdom of crowds reflected in current pricing highlights Ivory Coast’s consistent form and quality advantage in a group where the top two advance.
