Draw • 3.04

All eyes will be on Cairo International Stadium when Senegal and Algeria take on each other in the 2019 AFCON final. The Lions of Teranga defeated Tunisia 1-0 in the semis thanks to Dylan Bronn’s own goal in extra time, with the team keeping their fifth clean sheet of the tournament. Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly once again proved his worth at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, but, as always, a man to keep an eye on in Aliou Cisse’s team will be Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane, who has netted three goals at the tournament to date. Riyad Mahrez, on the other hand, helped Algeria beat Nigeria in the semis as he scored a wonder free-kick goal in the dying minutes of the match.

Algeria and Senegal seem to be evenly matched ahead of the title game and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

Algeria Win • 1.37

Algeria have already booked their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, while they’ve got Group C wrapped up. They are currently top of the pile, three points ahead of Senegal and Kenya – two sides they’ve already beaten. That means that Algeria have already secured their place in the next round as group winners, as neither of those two can edge them out on head to head record. With little to play for, how will Algeria do as the group stage wraps up?

Tanzania have kicked off their campaign with defeats to Senegal and Kenya. They’re on course to depart the tournament without a point, but can they edge out an Algeria side who have little to play for? The Taifa Stars are coming into this one with only one victory in their last six matches. They lost out in a thriller in midweek, going down 3-2 to Kenya. However, we struggle to see the same goal-filled game between these two.

Egypt Win • 1.34

Hosts Egypt continue their push for glory this week, as they prepare for their second game of the group stage. The favourites for glory are heading into this clash hoping to build on a narrow 1-0 victory over Zimbabwe in the tournament opener. There’s plenty of pressure on Egypt to deliver in front of their supporters, as they have a lot to live up to. Can Egypt claim three points in this clash and book their place in the last 16 of the competition?

Egypt are certainly a side to fear in this competition, with seven titles to their name. They were brilliant during their golden period between 2006 and 2010, winning all three Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in that period. They were hosts in 2006, which kicked off a period of domination across African football. Can the 2017 runners-up kick off a new era by claiming the title this summer?

YES

Cameroon Win • 3.55

Can African champions Cameroon edge this rematch from the 2017 tournament? These two met in the last four two years’ ago, with the sides each aiming to land silverware this time around. However, they’ve had very different starts to the competition, which has left both sides pushing for a victory for different reasons. The defending champions could edge into the last 16 on Saturday with a game to spare. Meanwhile, Ghana are hoping to get their silverware chase back on track.

Cameroon were comfortable 2-0 winners against Guinea-Bissau in their opening game of the tournament. That’s set them up to return to the knockout round as they look to defend their title in Egypt. They were supposed to host the 2019 edition of this competition, but instead, the Indomitable Lions are on foreign soil seeking their sixth title in this competition. Will they be able to deal out a blow to perennial contenders Ghana?

Kenya Win • 2.17

None of Kenya’s qualifying games for this competition finished with both teams finding the net. Meanwhile, they’ve seen both teams score in just one of their last 11 fixtures. The same goes for Tanzania, another side who have issues going forward. They scored all of their qualifying goals at home, drawing blanks in every away game. Across their last nine games, they’ve seen both teams find the net on just one occasion.

Meetings between these two have hardly been high scoring, either. The last four head to head clashes have each seen just a single goal scored. Tanzania won the first two 1-0 before Kenya claimed back to back victories. With both teams kicking off their campaign in this competition without scoring, we are backing both to have issues going forward. We think the best way to go in this clash is to back both teams to score – no. That’s down to their blunt forward lines and focus on defending.

Draw • 2.36

Can South Africa secure their place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations when they clash with Morocco on Monday? Group leaders Morocco are already through to the next round, but will they wrap up the first stage with a 100% record? They’ve made a fine start, boosting their chances of going all the way in this tournament. Morocco’s focus is now turning to the knockout round, but can they claim the point they need to secure first place and a potentially easier last 16 tie?

South Africa were able to return to winning ways in their last game, claiming a 1-0 victory over Namibia. That has them positioned in the top three, as they look to book a last 16 place. They know that third could be enough to take them through the group stage, but three points should certainly book their progression into the next round. Even a point could secure their place as one of the best third-place finishers, so can they hold on and get a result against a side who have won two from two?

Tunisia Win • 1.82

Every cup competition loves to have a surprise team and that role has been filled by Madagascar in the African Cup of Nations. They are ranked 108th in the world and had been slipping down the rankings, that will all change now. Madagascar are taking part in their first major finals and their before this event, their past four attempts to qualify had seen them win just one of sixteen matches. Qualifying for this tournament began in the preliminary round with a tie against 185th ranked Sao Tome and Principe. It's doubtful they were dreaming of making the quarter finals at that stage. Qualification was achieved as they finished second behind Senegal, who they could meet in the semi-final. In these finals, they came from behind to draw 2-2 with Guinea before beating Burundi 1-0. Then came the first big shock as they defeated Nigeria 2-0 and another followed as they beat DR Congo on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Tunisia are ranked 25th in the world, the second highest ranked African nation. The 2004 winners drew all three of their group matches and finished in second place. Their draws came against Angola, Mali and Mauritania. The last sixteen saw them up against Ghana and that nearly saw them get their first win in normal time. Tunisia led 1-0 but their opponents equalized in the 92nd minutes. Eventually the game went to a penalty shoot-out and that was won 5-4 by the Tunisians. They are now unbeaten in their last seven games and the tip here is for them to get the win and end the Madagascar adventure.

Tunisia have far more experience than their opponents and that is likely to play a major factor in this game. They are former winners of this title and competed in several World Cup finals. Tunisia are yet to lose a game in Egypt and did well to get past Ghana in the last sixteen. Madagascar have caused shocks in this tournament but all good runs have to come to an end sometime. Go for Tunisia to get the win in this match.

South Africa Win • 1.66

Two sides who are fighting for third meet this week, as South Africa and Namibia face off looking for three points. While they’re in a top-heavy group with Morocco and the Ivory Coast, one of these two could sneak through in fourth with a win here. They are aiming to follow up on narrow defeats in their opening clash by coming away with a win in this one, but can either of these two push their case to make the second round in this encounter in Cairo on Friday?

South Africa were narrowly edged out by Ivory Coast in their clash, but they restricted one of the competition’s strongest attacking line-ups to just three shots on target. That wasn’t a bad way to start, while Stuart Baxter will be aiming for Bafana Bafana to kick on from here. The Scottish manager is aiming to guide the country into the last 16 of this competition, as they could take one of the best third-placed slots with three points against AFCON outsiders Namibia in this game.

Uganda Win • 4.25

Uganda were able to get their Africa Cup of Nations campaign off to a fine start, claiming a 2-0 victory over DR Congo in the opening weekend. With as many as three sides potentially going through from this group, that’s left the Ugandans in a strong position ahead of this midweek clash with Zimbabwe. They come into the game as favourites, while they know another victory would see them ease into the next round with a round to spare. Can Uganda get themselves into the last 16?

It would be Uganda’s first game past the group stage in the Africa Cup of Nations since 1978 were they to win this clash. Uganda were runners-up in Ghana that year, but they weren’t able to return until 2017 when they left the competition at the group stage. With a win to their name Uganda have already outstripped their display in 2017, but can they kick on from here and record back to back victories in Egypt?

Algeria Win • 1.37

Algeria are still basking in the glow of their 1-0 win over Senegal in the previous round. That was a clash between two of the tournament favourites, so to see off their rivals in that fashion has to bode well for Algeria. The Group C leaders have won this tournament just once – back as hosts in 1990. That was part of a golden run for them which included five runs to the semis in six appearances at this competition. Since then, they’ve made the finals just one in almost 30 years.

Algeria will continue their bid for glory in the next round, but it’s likely to go on hold here. With top spot wrapped up, they have nothing to play for. That means resting the strongest side, which we expect to cost them going forward. Algeria have recorded 2-0 and 1-0 wins so far, which wouldn’t have gone quite so well had they left out their first choice forward options. Will that cause them problems against Tanzania this week?

The outsiders haven’t got much by the way of attacking force themselves. They lost 2-0 to Senegal in their opener, failing to score in any of their away qualifying matches. Algeria have back to back wins to nil behind them – so they should hold off this shy Tanzania attack – but with little motivation to win the game we see Algeria holding back. Under 2.5 goals is our tip, which has landed in six of Algeria’s last seven matches. After a remarkably low-scoring tournament so far, going against goals seems like a smart move.

Cameroon Win • 3.55

Ghana lost out in the semis and the third-place playoff in 2017. That was their latest blow in their chase to win this competition for the first time since 1982. They are hunting for their fifth African title, but they’ve been falling short regularly since hosting the competition in 2008. They’ve reached the last four at least in the last six editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. That includes two runners up spots and one bronze medal. Ghana may be going for gold, but they aren’t shaping up like contenders at the moment.

South Africa Win • 1.66

Namibia were minutes away from getting a point against Morocco, as they conceded an 89th-minute own goal to slip up in their opener. They head into this clash with mixed form of late, while they’ve been given an incredibly hard group that has left them as rank outsiders in this tournament. This is their first appearance since 2008 at this tournament, but will it be over after just a few games in Egypt?

South Africa are coming off some decent defensive form, which has seen them concede just once in their last three games. They do have a more experienced squad than Namibia, while they can call upon players who have moved around the world to develop their careers. After an unbeaten qualifying campaign, South Africa should be ready to pull off a win at this tournament, especially after claiming impressive victories at Nigeria and Libya.

Senegal Win • 1.39

Senegal aren’t a side with just one trick, but they don’t have the most varied attack. Given that they meet a Kenya side who have a defensive system, we don’t expect goals when these two sides go head to head. Kenya lost 2-0 to Algeria in their opener, while they are likely to have issues going forward in this one. Kenya don’t have much in the way of attacking quality, while we see them allowing Senegal a lot of possession.

We struggle to see Kenya making a major impact going forward. Senegal kicked off this group with a 2-0 win over Tanzania – while they won to nil in five of their six qualifiers – so we expect them to be able to shut-out Kenya in this clash. We’re going for Senegal to win to nil on Monday, while we see them edging this tie 1-0.

Uganda Win • 4.6

Zimbabwe have failed to win their last three games, while their qualifying campaign for this tournament was far from stellar. They claimed only two victories from their final five games, losing 1-0 at Liberia in November. Meanwhile, Uganda had their place at the tournament wrapped up with a game to spare after winning four of their first five matches. Given that form building up to this tournament, they are a side to watch this summer.

Uganda pulled off another big result ahead of the tournament, as they beat Ivory Coast 1-0 earlier this month. That was followed by their opening win over DR Congo, which leaves us expecting a lot from the Cranes in this clash. We see them beating a Zimbabwe side who have lost their last three games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Uganda to win is well priced ahead of this clash, while it’s our tip for Wednesday’s encounter.

Draw • 2.36

Morocco have started well, with their 1-0 win over the Ivory Coast showing that they’re serious contenders in Egypt this summer. That’s set up Morocco to push for the trophy, but it takes the pressure off them in this game. They head into this clash already through, while there’s now room for them rotate their side in this clash to leave them fresh for the next round.

That should play into South Africa’s hands, as this is now a chance for them to claim a result against a weakened side. Bafana Bafana have picked up solid results so far, as they lost narrowly against Ivory Coast in a clash they could have taken something from. South Africa are solid at the back, while they will be confident against this much-changed Morocco side. The Atlas Lions have scored once and benefitted from one own goal, so they aren’t likely to pack much of a scoring threat.

We see South Africa getting something here, especially given how a point suits both sides. A draw would guide them both into the last 16, while Bafana Bafana are out to protect a good record against Morocco. With three draws and a win from four meetings, we are going for South Africa to get a result. We see a low-scoring clash between two squads who have scored a goal apiece, so we’re backing South Africa to avoid defeat against a weakened Morocco side along with a goalless draw.

Morocco Win • 2.23

One of this week’s biggest Africa Cup of Nations clashes comes as Morocco meet the Ivory Coast in Group D. These two meet fighting for a spot in the last 16, while they will each be trying to top the pile in this group. Both of these teams can be seen as contenders for the trophy, between them they boast some of the tournament’s top players. With both taking some impressive squads to the tournament we should be in for a great clash on Friday, but who is going to edge it?

Morocco kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Namibia, with an 89th-minute own-goal edging them ahead. That wasn’t the best way to kick things off, but at least they got three points on the board. There are concerns about their attacking impact, as Morocco could use an out and out centre-forward to round off a strong side. However, they do have a solid defence, which was able to keep Namibia quiet going forward through that clash. Now the task for them is to step up and hold off the Elephants.

South Africa Win • 1.66

Bafana Bafana need to up their game at this tournament, they have at least scored in six of their last seven AFCON matches. Meanwhile, Namibia have never won a game at this tournament, with their loss at the weekend their fifth defeat in seven. Given that South Africa have won four of their last five clashes with Namibia – including a 4-1 victory just 12 months ago – we’re going with South Africa for the victory here.

Senegal Win • 1.39

After losing their second Africa Cup of Nations group game, Senegal need a victory from Monday’s encounter with Kenya. They are going head to head with the other side in their group with three points on the board, with a win for either side taking them through to the last 16. Both sides have claimed victories over Tanzania so far, but can either of them grab the win they need to ensure they make it through to the next round?

Kenya won a thrilling clash with Tanzania on Thursday, which was a dramatic turn away from their usual style. Kenya made it to this tournament thanks to a very defensive set up, one which is built around Tottenham’s Victor Wanyama. They are likely to revert to a more defensive approach for this clash, as the Harambee Stars go in search of their fourth point of the group stage. Will they be able to frustrate Senegal?

Senegal have a squad capable of challenging for glory in Egypt this summer. However, their talented team suffered a setback last time out. It was a game of few chances, which hurt a Senegal side who are top-loaded. Their obvious issue comes from their mix of great attacking pace and the resulting defensive vulnerabilities, they rely on sitting back to cover up at the back, before hitting their opponents on the counter to cause havoc. However, Algeria showed how to effectively avoid those issues in their last game.

Madagascar or Draw • 1.97

Tunisia was installed as one of the key favourites earlier before the tournament but honestly, they failed to live up to their billing. They had to struggle against Angola and in their game, a draw with Mali and could not even find a winner against lower Mauritania. I have watched all 3 of Tunisia games and they lack desire and urgency to even want to win the game. Their midfield has been passing to defence back and forth because there seems like no one in midfield knows what to do with the ball and their frintline keeps wasting all the chances shooting from outside the box when they have right and left flanks to bring to the byline and deliver the ball. As for Madagascar, they played very well against Nigeria and won 2-0. I myself probably thought it may just be one of the good games for them but in the match against Congo, Madagascar displayed their utmost desire and will to win the game. And I believe with this attribute, they will make Tunisia run for the money.

Madagascar to win/draw.

Côte d`Ivoire Win • 1.33

After losing their last game, Ivory Coast have work to do in their meeting with Namibia. They are aiming to pick up a win in Cairo on Monday, which would help them into the next round. Despite their defeat, the Elephants remain in the top two and they’ll stay there with a victory in this clash. However, they need to come back from a recent defeat against this week’s opponents. Namibia won 1-0 when these two met just last year, but can they repeat that on the big stage?

So far, Namibia have struggled to make that kind of impact in Egypt. They come into this clash bottom of the pile, while they’re set to drop out of the competition this week. It hasn’t been the greatest tournament for the outsiders, who lost their only realistically winnable game when they lost out to South Africa on Friday. Now they are up against one of the strongest sides in Africa as they wrap up their campaign in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Morocco Win • 2.23

However, if the Elephants are clicking right now, there could be bigger issues down the line. As they prepare to face one of the best defences in the competition, Ivory Coast should be worried about how they’re performing up top. After all, Morocco kept four clean sheets in their last five qualifiers, while they’ve started as they mean to go on in Egypt with a shut out in their first game. Will they be able to pull off a result against the Ivory Coast?

Morocco have won the last two meetings, including a win at the 2017 Cup of Nations. They haven’t conceded to Ivory Coast in three straight games, while the Elephants have issues of their own here. While they had a winning run at home leading up to the tournament, their previous six away matches before heading Egypt saw five draws. We expect them to have trouble against Morocco on neutral ground, so we’re backing Morocco Double Chance here.

Côte d`Ivoire Win • 1.33

Ivory Coast are pushing to win this tournament, but they have a tricky last 16 meeting with Mali ahead if they can win this clash. We expect the Elephants to gain some revenge for their loss to Namibia, while they’ve been made heavy favourites to win their final group game. Their array of stars has to easily guide them through this match, while they should only get better moving forward in this tournament.

Ivory Coast went into this group with a brilliant forward line, but there were questions about their defensive ability. Having won 1-0 and lost 1-0 in their two games so far, their defence hasn’t seemed to be the problem. They aren’t quite clicking up front, but one of Nicolas Pepe, Wilfried Zaha, Max Gradel and Jean Michael Seri should be able to pick apart Namibia. After all, the minnows are in poor form at the back of late.

Namibia have conceded 20 goals in their eight matches at the Africa Cup of Nations. They’ve lost six of their eight matches at this competition, while they’ve scored only once in their last four AFCON outings. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast qualified with three clean sheets in their last four qualifying matches, while so far they’ve been a solid side at the back. Given Namibia’s inability to score, we see Ivory Coast breaking through and claiming a win to nil. We’re going with Ivory Coast to win and keep a clean sheet.

Egypt Win • 1.34

We struggle to see DR Congo doing much to dent Egypt’s hopes. They kicked off their campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Uganda, a defeat which has marked them out as a side who could now struggle to get through the group. While they do have some talented players to call upon, recent results for DR Congo suggest they are a side who are in disarray. A defeat here will all but rule them out of the tournament, but we struggle to see them matching Egypt.

Cameroon Win • 3.6

There’s trouble in the camp, with Asamoah Gyan pulling out of the squad after being stripped of the captaincy. His return – requested by Ghana’s President – doesn’t mean he’s dropped the issue. The atmosphere probably isn’t great in the fallout of that, while they started off with a 2-2 draw against Benin. That’s left the Black Stars in trouble in their bid to win the group. They could be five points behind Cameroon after this game, especially given that Ghana have lost back to back meetings with Cameroon.

The champions have won four of their last five matches, while they’re on a seven-game unbeaten run in this tournament. They’ve won their last three Africa Cup of Nations games, while they are meeting a Ghana team who have won one of five games in this competition. With issues for Ghana in the squad, we don’t see why the bookies have them as outsiders against a strong Cameroon outfit. Given that, we’re going with Cameroon to win on the Draw No Bet market as our pick for this clash.

Egypt Win • 1.34

The hosts are picking up where they left off in 2017 with their latest win. They claimed three 1-0 wins in 2017 to send them to the final, so they’ve proven themselves masters of the narrow win. A quick look at their recent record in home games shows what an advantage they have hosting the tournament, as they’ve won their last six games at home. They won four of their last five qualifiers to make the tournament, as they hadn’t been handed hosting duties when the qualifying campaign began.

Benin Win • 1.81

Can Benin build on a brilliant 2-2 draw with Ghana from their opening game? They started off the group with a surprise point, which could push them towards the last 16. If they can pull off a victory in this clash, then the Squirrels could take up a spot in the second round. However, they will need to be at their best to edge out Guinea-Bissau this week. Can Benin make a step towards a knockout place, or will the outsiders end their poor run of form?

Benin are getting a major boost going into this clash, as they will welcome back midfielder Stéphane Sessègnon for this meeting with Guinea-Bissau. The former West Brom and Sunderland man is a key player for the Squirrels, while he should make an impact as he slots back into a side who have made a bright start in Egypt. They went toe to toe with Ghana – a side who have made the last six semi-finals of this competition. They weren’t overwhelmed, as they picked up an important point. Can they add to it with a result on Saturday?

Benin Win • 1.81

Guinea-Bissau suffered another defeat on Tuesday, which has left them facing an uphill battle to make the next round. They’re already the outsiders ahead of this meeting with Benin, never mind their final group game against Ghana. It’s a difficult group for them, so we could see them struggling to make much of an impact. While they play an attractive, passing game Guinea-Bissau look stretched competing at this level.

Benin Win • 1.81

Benin have an experienced boss in Michel Dussuyer, so he’ll be ready to exploit any potential weaknesses in this Guinea-Bissau side. They have conceded at least two goals in their last three matches, while their record on the big stage is poor. Three consecutive defeats in the African Cup of Nations has left them as worthy underdogs for this clash in Ismailia.

Benin warmed up for the tournament with three straight wins, while they showed their talents in that 2-2 draw with Ghana. We expect the return of Sessègnon will make them stronger, while we’re backing Benin to build on some good results of late. We’re backing Benin for the victory in this clash, while we’re backing a 2-0 win for the Squirrels.

Senegal Win • 1.4

As most of the favourites in this tournament such as Cameroon, Egypt and Morocco are already out, that leaves the other 3 hot favourites which is Senegal, Algeria and Nigeria. Looking at Senegal's past few games, they started slow but they have improved the past 2 matches. With Sadio Mane upfront, their frontline lwill be more lethal. Benin did improve too but Senegal should be too strong for them. Benin have not beaten Senegal since 1961.

Senegal to win.
