Former Ivory Coast coach Jean-Louis Gasset has given two reasons why Nigeria\u2019s Super Eagles are favourite to win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations ahead of the host nation.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles will tackle Ivory Coast in Sunday\u2019s AFCON final at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan.<\/p>\n

Jose Peseiro\u2019s men had beaten Ivory Coast 1-0 during the group stages.<\/p>\n

However, Gasset who was dismissed by the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) following the Elephants\u2019 4-0 defeat against Equatorial Guinea in their final Group A game, believes Nigeria are favourite against his former team because they have Victor Osimhen and also are higher ranked in Africa.<\/p>\n

Speaking to L\u2019Equipe via Ouest France, Gasset said: \u201cIvory Coast are not favorites because Nigeria are higher ranked in Africa and have Osimhen, the best African Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy departure brought peace. I am proud of the Elephants, happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
