Down to the Ivory Coast/Thailand.
I will take Ivory Coast.
Reasoning: Not confident in either. The Ivory Coast only lost by 2 to Nigeria and in extra time to Cameroon in the African Cup. In the play-in game, they held on for the majority of the game and then scored late to beat South Africa. I like that they showed an ability to hold on and then execute late.
Thailand played China/South Korea and got smoked both times in the Asian Cup, and they lost 7-0 to the Netherlands in a friendly back in February. Thailand doesn't show well vs anyone besides Vietnam/Myanmar etc so I will go with the #67 ranked underdogs and hope for a miracle.
