Zimbabwe kicked off their campaign in the tournament’s opening game – where they lost 1-0 to Egypt. That defeat has left them on the back foot, especially with an encounter with a wounded DR Congo side to come. That has put Zimbabwe in a tough position, as they are now chasing a result in this clash to stay in contention for a place in the next round.

1Guinea Win • 1.68
Can Guinea break their quarter-final streak at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations? They have made the last eight on four of the last five occasions that they’ve reached the tournament. That’s established them as one of the second-tier teams in this competition, while it marks them out as potential challengers to Nigeria to win this group. They kick things off with a meeting against Madagascar, which gives them the chance to move onto three points in the opening weekend.
Guinea are future hosts of this competition, as they’ll be taking over hosting duties in 2025. As they build towards that tournament, they’ll be looking for success in Egypt this summer. They head here with a solid squad, especially in midfield. They have a dynamic engine room in the middle of the park, which includes Naby Keita and Napoli’s Amadou Diawara. With those two in central midfield, they should dominate most sides.
Madagascar are one of the newcomers this summer, having finally made their way through the qualifiers. They were the first side to book their place in the tournament, thanks to some solid work up front. However, they managed to compensate for their defensive issues through attacking football. It’s hard to see that kind of approach working at the tournament this summer.

Northern Ireland Win • 2.81
Northern Ireland were effective on the road in the last two qualifying campaigns, while they’ve just won their first away game this time around. We expect them to step up and secure a result in this clash. They’ve made a brilliant start following their Nations League struggles, so we are siding with NI to keep up this winning start. We’re going with the visitors Draw No Bet here, which seems like great value.

Santos Win • 1.76
another exciting game between the two after their action packed affair just days ago. Santos will likely play in a very aggressive manner on home soil but Atletico have already shown they have the ability to hurt them on the counter and cannot be taken lightly.
All things considered, backing both teams to score looks a great way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is exactly where our money is going. 4 of the last 5 meetings between the two have seen goals at either end and that’s a streak we envisage continuing here, with a 2-1 home victory on the cards.

Turkey Win • 1.83
The domestic season has drawn to a close around Europe, but that is far from the end of football. We’re thrown right into an international break that includes some crucial Euro 2020 qualifiers, but the action starts with a trip to Turkey as Greece take on their hosts in a friendly.
The Turks are currently sitting in a decent position in their qualifying group, with two wins from two putting them just behind favourites France on goal difference. They have a good chance of qualifying for Euro 2020, and as such they are bringing their top players along to all these international breaks.
Hakan Calhanoglu is one of the main threats in a number 10 role, while talented winger Cengiz Under is also present and the likes of Burak Yilmaz and Cenk Tosun offer options up front. The chances are that all of these talented attackers will play a part on Thursday, lining up in a 4-2-3-1 setup with Yilmaz leading the line and Tosun cutting in from the left.
Greece certainly aren’t out of the running in their qualifying group either, but their main hub of players have been approaching the wrong end of the age spectrum for years now, and it’s forced Angelos Anastasiadis to blood some fresh faces. The likes of Sokratis, Kostas Manolas, Andreas Samaris, and Kostas Fortounis are still present, but it’s a largely inexperienced squad. In fact, 15 of the 25-man squad have fewer than 10 international appearances under their belt.

Draw • 2.54
One thing the pair have this term is a solid defensive record. Juventus have conceded just 28 times in 37 league games, while Sampdoria have shipped 16 goals in 18 at home. The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in 56% of their game games here, while of the 109 goals they’ve scored and conceded, just 38% have come at this ground. With Juve seeing under 2.5 goals in their last four Serie A clashes, we see great value in backing a low scoring clash in this one.

Nice Win • 3.3
Monaco have been attacking well in recent weeks but with Nice’s incredible home record we’re going to back the away side to score under 1.5 goals as les Aiglons haven’t conceded that at the Allianz Riviera since October. Monaco have also scored under 1.5 goals in four of their last five away games so we’re backing this market to win here. We’re also going to back Nice to win 1-0 as a victory could clinch them 7th spot so they will be desperate for three points. Their last eight home victories have all been to nil so this is what we’re predicting.

Under 2.5 Goals • 2.25
The Catalans have won just 2 of their last 6 on the road in all competitions. While Eibar’s form and season has been a bit patchy, they have won 2 of their last 3 including an impressive victory at the Mestalla. With just 2 defeats in 15 home games in all competitions, backing Eibar Double Chance could be worth a punt here.
Their last 6 matches have all produced under 2.5 goals. We aren’t likely to see anything more expansive from them in this one and with Barcelona’s front line short on firepower, backing Under 2.5 Goals could also be worth a punt.

Almere City Win • 2.04
Rene Hake’s men were probably flattered by that result in Enschede though considering that Twente had already started their promotion celebrations, and you sense that the Leeuwarden missed their opportunity in this tie by failing to bank a lead in the 1st instalment.
Barring that aforementioned trouncing in Amsterdam, Almere have been a model of consistency under the guidance of Tobiasen and they simply can’t be opposed here in the betting at a shade of odds-against.
Their recent record at Yanmar Stadion is extremely impressive to say the least, and they have netted at least two goals in all but one of their last eight matches in front of their own fans. It means that Cambuur will probably have to notch three or four times here if they are to come out on top, and we just can’t see that happening as City have kept five clean sheets at home since the start of February.

St. Mirren Win • 2.06
That last defeat to Livi was at the start of April, meaning that the Lanarkshire side haven’t lost a game in over a month, racking up a trio of draws before beating Dundee last week and sealing their fate.
This is a crucial game in the ongoing relegation battle, as it determines whether or not the last game of the season will be affected by this outcome. If Hamilton avoid defeat then they’ll be safe and will send St Mirren to the play-offs, but the Buddies do have an easier last game of the season should they gain any points from this clash. We’re going to back the hosts to win here, but by a narrow margin of 1-0.

Angers Win • 5.45
Angers managed to win at the weekend but it was a game where their opponents Bordeaux were very dominant in the amount of possession and number of corners. Angers still managed to get the three points though and with them losing just one of their last eleven home matches, they should be pretty confident as they face PSG.
Paris are playing with no intensity, intention or ingenuity and their results have correctly reflected this. Their season that was once viewed as such a successful one is fizzling out to nothing and Thomas Tuchel has three league games left to show the board that he is the man for the job. However, we think he’ll suffer another stumbling block away to Angers who are incredible in front of their own fans. PSG have lost their last four away games and as a result, we’re going to back Angers with a double chance bet. Angers have been great at home and with Paris looking so wayward, we like the look of the odds on this match. We’re also backing a 2-1 win for Angers as they have scored nine goals in their last five home games.

Arsenal Win • 3.92
In truth, this is a tricky game to assess. It will be the first time this season that Valencia have trailed going into the second leg and given that some of their home efforts have been weak when they’ve held an advantage, it’s not terribly difficult to envisage them struggling. Furthermore, Arsenal have lost two of their three travelling matches since reaching the knockouts, though each of those defeats came in the first leg. In contrast, once they held the lead ahead of going away to Napoli in the last round, Emery’s men were solid and delivered a professional performance.
On the basis that the Gunners thrived when in a similar position in Naples, it’s easy to feel that Thursday’s visitors have been slightly underestimated by the early market. At what appears to be a generous price, ‘Arsenal Draw No Bet’ gets the nod.

Over 3 Goals • 2.12
Over 3.0 goals on the Asian line is priced at 20/21 (1.95) and looks like a backable option given we are expecting the goals to flow.
If exactly three goals are scored then all stakes of returned, meaning backers of this selection only lose money if two goals or fewer are scored, something that looks unlikely.
If Liverpool come out all guns blazing then the price of 11/8 (2.37) for over 1.5 goals in the first half/

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.
