Who will you be backing?
Mali vs Senegal
Mali are potentially the weakest of the eight teams to have secured their place in the quarter-finals, having narrowly progressed from Group A with three draws before scoring a last-minute equaliser to send their round of 16 clash against Tunisia to penalties, in which Mali dramatically won 3-2.
While Mali will be delighted with their progress, they remain without a win in normal time, and they now face a Senegal side who have impressed in their first four games of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Senegal have won three and drawn one of their four matches, scoring 10 and conceding only two, leaving them stronger on both paper and form than their quarter-final opponents, and with that in mind, we are backing Senegal to qualify for the next round with a win.
Senegal to qualify, 1.27 – 3WCZKDZ
Cameroon vs Morocco
Cameroon and Morocco come together in an extremely intriguing quarter-final clash, with Cameroon having won three and drawn one of their four games facing a Morocco side who have similarly won three and drawn one.
While Cameroon will fancy their chances of progressing into the semi-finals, largely due to their impressive attack that has scored six goals in four games, Morocco are the hosts of the competition and will have huge backing in the crowd.
Alongside their formidable defensive record, conceding only one goal, and strong attack, scoring seven, we are backing the host nation to secure the win and qualify for the semi-final.
Morocco to qualify, 1.27 – 3WCZKDZ
Algeria vs Nigeria
Ademola Lookman has enjoyed a sensational AFCON competition, scoring three and assisting four goals in just three appearances, having been completely rested from Nigeria’s final group game against Uganda.
Alongside Lookman’s strong start, the Super Eagles have been flexing their attacking muscles in this competition, scoring a superb 12 goals – including a 4-0 win over Mozambique in the round of 16 – and they will be expected to create plenty of chances once again against Algeria.
With Lookman’s fantastic form in front of goal in mind, with the striker scoring in all of his three games, we are backing the Atalanta forward to get on the scoresheet once again.
Ademola Lookman to score anytime, 4.25 – 3WCZQBH
Egypt vs Ivory Coast
Alongside Lookman, Amad Diallo has stood out as one of the best attacking players in the Africa Cup of Nations thus far, with the Manchester United and Ivory Coast forward scoring three and assisting one in four appearances.
The striker was particularly impressive in Ivory Coast’s 3-0 win against Burkina Faso in the round of 16, and with Ivory Coast’s brilliant attacking record in this competition so far, with eight goals scored, we are backing them to create numerous opportunities and for Diallo to score.
