🇦🇴 GAME DAY IN DAKAR!
Angola faces Côte d’Ivoire today in another important battle on the road to the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027. The Palancas lead the historical head-to-head 4–2, but the Ivorians won the last two meetings—both decided by the smallest of margins:
🏀 Côte d’Ivoire 75–73 Angola — 2022
🏀 Côte d’Ivoire 57–56 Angola — 2021
The current numbers also show how evenly matched these teams are: Angola shoots 43% from the field, compared to Côte d’Ivoire’s 42%. Our advantages have come from forcing turnovers (28.4 points per game), running the floor (20.3 fast-break points) and attacking the paint (37.8 points).
The key will be controlling Côte d’Ivoire’s strong bench, which produces 47.8 points per game, and limiting their second-chance opportunities.
Recent history has not been kind to us—but today, in Dakar, it is time to settle the score! Angola é Angola! 🇦🇴🔥
