Guinea-Bissau 0 - 1 Nigeria
nigeria is winning as expected, but as they only scored 1 goal, this competition is being marked by the sad part of not having many goals

Egypt 1 - 0 Sudan
egypt is also winning as expected and unfortunately they are not managing to score more than 1 goal

This is pretty normal as teams only need one goal to win the game and we see more cautious football in cup games. Teams have less tolerance for simple mistakes.
Nigeria was my favorite in this tournament and they started well, two wins in group stage. These are easier matches though, the real competition will start after quarter finals.
Algeria is the biggest disappointment in this tournament so far. They couldn't even beat Equatorial Guinea and lost their chance to advance to next round. I don't know why they left Ghezzal out, he was simply faultless and assist leader in Super League last season.

Yeah! The AFCON games has been a perfect under 3.5 match. Its not even round of 16 yet and the goals aren't forth coming, what would then be the case wh3n the game surfaces the next stage (more and more under goal markets). Those taking bets on the league should look towards the goal market on this though, I feel the odds would be insignificant as, it would be reduced to make winnings lack meaning.
One thing is for sure, the Pharaohs aren't giving Sudwn much of a chance for any surprises whole ensuring that, they push harder in game play and on target shots to the post. Sudan is losing this one for sure and Nigeria would be beating Guinea to top there group.

I can see the reluctance of both teams to attack in the match between Nigeria and Guinea. Neither team has scored a goal yet. If we continue to play like this, the match will be a goalless draw.

It seems what you said here got to Umar Sadiq and now, Nigeria is leading by a goal to nothing. Nigeria keep making Nigerians and its fans proud in this round. From the way its looking, Nigeria would top in there group after salvaging all or some points on all there games by not loosing. I don't see Guinea equalising in this game, not by one chance.

Egypt on the other hand might be facing a difficult game against Sudan as they are yet to win a game. Though, we can be rest assured Egypt won't waste a chance in stepping off this round so, its either a win or a draw for them.

Egypt VS Sudan
Egypt scored 3 points in two matches. If they can draw in today's match, they will be able to ensure round 16. However, the opponent Sudan is a very weak team. My guess is that Egypt will ensure Round 16 by winning this match and Salah will score a goal today.

Your prediction may be correct. Egypt went ahead with a goal in the first half. However, Salah could not score. Mohammad Abdel monem scored from Abdallah El Said's pass. Sudan is not playing well. They can't even hold the ball on their own. Egypt will qualify for the next round with a 1-0 victory today if no accident occurs.

Guinea-Bissau VS Nigeria
It is easy to guess that Nigeria is the favorite in this match. Because Nigeria is the strongest team in the group D. After winning the previous two matches, they have secured the round of 16. So this match is not important for them.

Not so important, yet the Nigerian team is playing more like they need the win. In the first 15mins of the game, i have seen the super eagles more with the ball than Guinea Bissau. I really like the way the Nigerian team is moving the ball around. if we can secure a win and get all Nine points from this group stages, we will be ballistic in the knockout stages! Win for 9ja!

It is still 0-0 at Nigeria game while Egypt scored in the last 10 minutes of the game.I think both teams will qualify further in the tournament and both teams together with Cameroon,Senegal and Morocco are like the stronger teams remaining in the game.It will be a very interesting elimination phase where these stronger teams will face each other.I see the team playing the better football so far to be Nigeria and they have been always an important team in such event but let's see how it unfolds further.

Based on what I saw, the only team that more or less plays is Cameroon, the rest give quite random results and I'm not sure of anyone.
Ghana surprised, if I remember correctly, it was one of the two favorites in the group, but in the end it only finished 4th. For betting, this tournament is simply terrible, it is impossible to come up with any adequate prediction here.

This group stage was unexpected as it is full of 1 - 0 matches, Cameroon played quite good, people have been saying Cameroon will win AFCON but let us see who will be the winner.

I checked the quotes this afternoon and Cameroon was in first place, second was Senegal and Egypt was in 5th place, although before the start of the tournament it was in first place and was ranked as a favorite. Right now I can't say the specific odds that bookmakers offer as they remove long-term quotes when games are played. I think in a few hours it will be possible to see again that Cameroon is now the favorite, and Egypt fell after showing inconclusive results.

I don't understand how you see Guinea-Bissau not a weak team ; it have failed to win any of their last six games in all competitions, picking three draws and losing the other three. Maybe you think it will get stronger to avoid elimination but you might forget that Guinea-Bissau lost against Egypt which is weaker than Nigeria. I can't give an advice to bet on it for a draw by all means.
A draw is enough for Nigeria to take a place in the next round. This results Nigeria to save efforts for next matches round.

I don't also think that Sudan can beat Egypt .

Today's game is another game between Nigeria vs Guinea Bissau. Already guinea Bissau midfielder have promised the Super Eagles players their won't be any chance for them to win the match, but I still doubt if guinea bissau will be a able to defeat the Super Eagles based on performance since AFCON started.

The match between guinea and nigeria will be the last match in AfCon's group D phase, Nigeria is currently the winner of group D and Egypt is in the runner up position.
I think the chances of guinea qualifying are very small because they just got 1 point, other than that if guinea managed to win against nigeria of course still have to hope if Sudan can beat Egypt, I think with Sudan performance which is quite bad in their last 2 matches, of course it will it is very difficult for Sudan to beat Egypt, besides that Guinea looks like it will be an easy opponent to nigerian in the last match

Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria - I do not expect Nigeria to lose. However, they might conserve their energy in this one and might not be motivated enough to win either. Odds are 1.68 for them to win.

With what I am thinking, Nigeria will not be willing to lose this match but it can either end up win or draw. I go for win for Nigeria because Nigerias team are playing good.

You do not have to doubt that, it will be opposite, Nigeria has higher chance to win this match.

Right before the end of the first round, third match is so tricky for almost all the teams you have mentioned ; After the incident occured in the match of Tunisia-Maly with the arbitrator who announced the end of the match twice times before the minute 90 and the Tunisian team refused to finish the match, CAP threated the Tunisian team that he will be punished, Morroco team said that he would leave the competition if Tunisia punished.

In addition, Tunisian team announced lately yesterday that twelve players from the main team have tested positive Covid and have to move to quarantine. This would drastically decrease the chance of Tunisia to move to next round after the last win against Mauritania and a loss against Mali. Even with the full team, Tunisia has less to none chances to win the round one last match as at best it will get a draw and wait for Mauritania to win against Mali which is so far to be true.
I suggest you not to bet on this match.

Senegal was one of my favorites too before but they are showimg us disappointments, I too have lost hope in Senegal. I do not think Senegal can get to quarter final if its team continue poor performance.

This is a very big disappointment also from Ghana. Even Comoros won Ghana 3 - 2 yesterday. Ghana is now out of AFCON.

It's quite a pity and unbelievable that Ghana went home like this. This is the result you get when you think your opponent are far below your standard, them underestimated comoros. Ayew's attitude warranted his red card. They didn't prove matured and prepared, hence the early departure from AFCON. Ghana has participated in the Afcon 24 times. But this is the first time there are leaving at the bottom of a group without winning a single match. It is very disappointing to see Comoros score and won Ghana. It's very disappointing to see the Blackstars not win even a match in the tournament. What a shame to Kurt Okraku and his management.
I think they should also scout some players from the Ghana Premier League to play for the Blackstars team, it helps to strike a balance.

To be honest, Senegal does not deserve to advance to the next round. They have been terrible and have never won a game comfortably, with the exception of a last-minute penalty kick against Zimbabwe. They were one of my favorites to win the AFCON, but I lost hope on them after their first two games.

From the last games of the group stages, most vital countries have performed less than expected.
Although Nigeria won't be part of this as they're looking forward on winning their last game, qualification for the next it sure but then they will be the first country to win all of their three games/matches.
Nine points in total as they will be hoping for the best in the next rounds to come.

Although this doesn't have to mean too much yet. For a team to be successful in such a tournament they need to 1) survive the group phase and then 2) perform well (and be lucky) in the elimination phase. In the past we have seen many teams that won all their group stage matches but then disappoint when they are facing the first stronger opponent in the final round.

For today's matches i don't expect any surprises
Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria - I do not expect Nigeria to lose. However, they might conserve their energy in this one and might not be motivated enough to win either. Odds are 1.68 for them to win.
Egypt vs Sudan - Egypt so far has shown their bare minimum, still it was enough for the 2nd place in their group. They can't lose this one as it would threaten their progression into the next round. Odds are 1.20 that they win, my guess is that it will be a clear result with at least 2 goals difference. 2-0 or 3-0, 3-1 are likely

In paper it looks like you say but let's not forget surprise results have happened lately,since this is the third game I think Nigeria can win but can also pass the group with a draw while Egypt needs to win this at all costs in order to not compromise their campaign in this tournament,I believe they are going to win easily,probably a handicap bet for Egypt can either work or not but a single money line bet on them should work without problems.
