Cote d'Ivoire football analyst Mamadou Gaye has predicted a 4-0 victory for his country over Zambia ahead of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.
Nicknamed the 'Assassin of Abidjan' for his over-the-top comments, Gaye told Supersport that the "elephant is too big to fry".
"No David and Goliath. The best team of the tournament called Elephants will win... The Elephants are going to make history by being the first country to win the Afcon without conceding a goal," Gaye insisted.
"For me the most difficult game [for] the Elephants was against Mali. It was very physical and it was a West African derby. Zambia play the type of football that suit Cote d'Ivoire. Easy win for the Elephants," Gaye confidently predicted.
