Odds accurate as of the time of publication.
Morocco Haltime / Fulltime @ 2.20
Host nation Morocco have enjoyed an excellent AFCON campaign so far and now turn their attention to a quarter-final clash with Cameroon. Real Madrid ‘s Brahim Díaz has been the star so far, and he leads the scoring charts with four goals.
With the hosts starting games strongly and showing impressive control when playing from ahead, there looks to be real value in backing Morocco to lead at half-time and go on to secure victory by full-time.
Senegal to win @ 1.61
Senegal face Mali in what promises to be an intriguing quarter-final encounter. The Lions of Teranga have been highly impressive throughout the tournament, scoring three goals in three of their four matches while conceding just twice overall.
Mali, on the other hand, edged through the group stage without recording a win and required a penalty shootout to survive the Round of 16. Given Senegal’s consistency, attacking depth, and tournament pedigree, backing Sadio Mané and his teammates to progress to the semi-finals looks a strong value play.
Algeria v Nigeria – Over (2.5) Goals @ 2.38
Arguably the standout tie of the AFCON quarter-finals sees two heavyweights collide as Algeria take on Nigeria. Both sides have looked sharp in attack and have been involved in several open, high-scoring contests so far.
All four of Nigeria’s matches at this tournament have produced at least three goals, while two of Algeria’s four outings have followed suit. With attacking quality on both sides and neither team likely to play conservatively, this clash has all the ingredients for goals, making over 2.5 goals an appealing selection.
Egypt v Ivory Coast – BTTS – Yes @ 2.03
Another mouthwatering quarter-final awaits as Egypt go head-to-head with reigning champions Ivory Coast. Both nations boast an abundance of attacking talent and come into this tie full of confidence after scoring three goals apiece in their respective Round of 16 victories.
With star names such as Mohamed Salah, Amad Diallo and Omar Marmoush on display, there should be plenty of chances at both ends. Given the firepower available, there appears to be excellent value in backing both teams to find the net.
