Burkina Faso vs Equatorial Guinea
Burkina Faso head into their opening game against Equatorial Guinea as the clear favourites to claim all three points, especially given the quality difference and clear contrast in form of the two teams heading into this encounter.
Burkina Faso have won five and drawn one of their last six matches, while Equatorial Guinea have lost two, drawn one and won only one of their last four games across all competitions.
With that clear difference in form heading into this game in mind, we believe Burkina Faso, who will be hugely confident thanks to their recent winning run, will secure all three points.
Burkina Faso to win, 1.78 – 3TPRS7P
Algeria vs Sudan
Mohamed Amoura heads into the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in fine goalscoring form for both club and country, with the forward boasting four goals in his last six matches for VfL Wolfsburg, while he has also scored six goals in his last five games across all competitions for Algeria.
As Algeria head into this meeting with Sudan, who Algeria are expected to dominate proceedings and create plenty of chances against, combined with Amoura’s scoring form, we expect the forward to get on the scoresheet here.
Mohamed Amoura to score anytime, 2.65 – 3TPRS7P
Ivory Coast vs Mozambique
Ivory Coast will be eager to get their Africa Cup of Nations title defence underway with a commanding three points when they take on Mozambique, and the reigning champions are the clear favourites to achieve the victory.
Ivory Coast have won seven, drawn one and lost only two of their last 10 games across all competitions, while Mozambique have won only two of their last 10 outings, alongside two draws and six defeats.
With that clear contrast in form between the two teams in mind, we are backing the Ivory Coast to comfortably win this one.
Ivory Coast to win, 1.37 – 3TPRZ6Z

Cameroon vs Gabon
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is undoubtedly Gabon’s standout star, and the country will be looking to their superstar forward to make the difference at AFCON, starting with their opening game against Cameroon.
While the match is certainly set to be a challenging encounter between the two sides, Aubameyang heads into the encounter having netted three goals in his last six matches for Marseille, as well as seven goals in six matches for Gabon throughout 2025.
Given the striker’s undeniable goalscoring ability, we are backing Aubameyang to get on the scoresheet against Cameroon.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score anytime, 3.10 – 3TPS38Y
