Matches to Predict
- Mali vs Senegal: Senegal to win in regular time
Mali are the only team to reach the quarter-finals without winning a single match in regular time at the tournament. They drew all three games in the group stage and advanced past Tunisia on penalties. Senegal, by contrast, have looked far more convincing in their previous outings. They have won three of their four matches, and in the round of 16 they beat Sudan 3–1. The Senegalese boast an excellent squad, and we believe they have what it takes to reach the semi-finals.
- Cameroon vs Morocco: Morocco to win in regular time
Morocco are the hosts of this tournament and are doing everything possible to win it. Notably, their last Africa Cup of Nations triumph dates back to 1976. A strong squad, passionate home support, and immense motivation are all on their side. We expect the Moroccans to book a place in the semi-finals with a win in regular time.
- Algeria vs Nigeria: draw in regular time
Two very strong teams and genuine favourites to lift the trophy. Both national sides boast high-quality players, setting the stage for a tense and captivating clash between Algeria and Nigeria. We believe this match will go beyond regular time, which is why we are backing a draw after 90 minutes. A battle between such heavyweights deserves to last longer than regulation time.
- Egypt vs Ivory Coast: draw in regular time
Another showdown between evenly matched teams and leading title contenders. The most decorated team in Africa Cup of Nations history, Egypt, will face the reigning champions, Ivory Coast. As with the Nigeria vs Algeria encounter, we expect a long, hard-fought contest that extends beyond the standard 90 minutes.
