I'm in the position to choose the team that win this tournament i think my vote will go directly to Egypt, because looking at Cameroon team are strong enough but Egypt is playing more than Cameroon the way i view the matches so far, it is not that i bring Egypt in mind because they defeated their counterpart for quarter semi final easily but their formation is strong, except that Cameroon will examine them and find out their weakening point first before they can defeat Egypt

It will be very difficult in Egypt's match against Morocco. They will have to beat Morocco first. If they can reach the final after beating Morocco, then if they play against Cameroon, I can agree with what they say. I think Egypt, Morocco, Cameroon and Tunisia are strong teams in this tournament. One of these four teams will be champion. I'm looking forward to this cup game.

Morocco on the other side is at 7:3 goals in 4 games which is a lot on both sides, at least for the ongoing tournament. They will face a difficult game vs Egypt for sure.

It is Morocco's turn to compete in the quarterfinals of the Afcon. With a brilliant strike like Hakimi, Morocco has the advantage over the rest of the field. The Moroccans only conceded 3 goals in 4 matches, which is not disappointing, but otherwise, this African team is living up to expectation. Egypt and Morocco are getting ready to face off, sure it will be a challenge for Morocco.

Egypt have had to go to penalties already this tournament, and I think that's exactly the approach they'll be taking this time around. They'll be playing rather defensive hoping they can either get a counter attack with Salah or they'll try to hold on until penalties which I think they've a realistic chance of winning with their players.

Maybe you are right that they will choose this strategy, but it is a risky one. Not only they could fall behind by a surprise goal, also it is not guaranteed that they win in penalties.
In 4 games Egypt scored 2 goals so far and only got 1 goal against them. I doubt they will change their strategy much, but then also a single goal could decide a game.

Morocco on the other side is at 7:3 goals in 4 games which is a lot on both sides, at least for the ongoing tournament. They will face a difficult game vs Egypt for sure.

It's sad really to see most team Nigeria is better than still in the tournament even Egypt that Nigeria defeated in the tournament group stage is still in the competition, although I have lost interest in the tournament there are tons of exciting matches to look out for, I think my favorite team to win this competition this year would be Senegal, I think the Senegalese team has all it takes to do that and also because I like Mane.

It's true that it is really sad to see it team like Nigeria doing that bad in this tournament.

Anyway, I also think that Senegal is a really good team and Mane is also a great player. So they should really go very far in this tournament and I also think that Egypt should do you are better than they are doing right now. Because I am a big supporter of Mohammed Salah.

Now we're in the quarter finals I'll give my predictions for the rest of the tournament:

Gambia 0 vs 2 Cameroon
Burkina Faso 0 vs 1 Tunisia
Egypt (P) 0 vs Morocco
Senegal 2 vs 0 Equatorial Guinea

For the semi's obviously depends on the draw (which I'm not exactly sure how that works in the AFCON), but I'm feeling a Senegal vs Egypt final, which Senegal take in normal time. Probably a 2-1 victory or 2-0 victory.

Well I doubt Egypt will be able to pass Morocco honestly. Ok they have some good players in addition to Salah but Morocco showed so far a better and solid performance. Odds are good for Morocco @2.4 comparing to Egypt @3.4
Now Cameroon has to get the help of the VAR, Covid, referees and extra corruption power to be able to lift the trophy. They are a joke for me, maybe I am exaggerating but their last game was definitely a joke.

capable squad.

TEAM THAT SUCCESSFULLY PASSED TO THE QUARTER FINAL:

1. Burkina Faso
2. Tunisia
3. Gambia
4. Cameroon
5. Senegal
6. Morocco
7. Egypt
8. Equatorial Guinea

NEXT QUARTER-FINAL MATCH:

1. Gambia vs Cameroon

2. Burkina Faso vs Tunisia

3. Egypt vs Morocco

4. Senegal vs Equatorial Guinea

I think teams that will go into the semi finals are Cameroon,Tunisia,Egypt and Senegal. Choosing all the favorites in this matches to go into the next round but i wouldnt be surprised if someone from the underdogs wins a match over penalties or something like that. This tournament is still really wierd and low goalscoring.

From the look of the performance of all this teams, it can either be Egypt or Cameroon that may likely win the AFCON tournament because this are the two strong teams as it stands now. Cameroon have higher tendency of winning, Cameroon has been doing greatly in their performance from the beginning.

Well, the four finalists for this round of the tournament have all learned from their previous games and in their next matches, I expect a new level of football skills as they need to upgrade the standard to list represent the international standard.

Looking at this table for this round I see Cameroon having the upper hands since they are home to win 🏆 the cup of the nation this year.

Senegal and Cameroon are so far the only teams in the tournament that show a confident game, the rest surprise (or even shock like Nigeria).

A Cameroon vs Senegal game in the final will be intense and something everyone who has been following up on the competition will want to see. With the way both teams have played so far, i think if they don't let the current ratings get into their heads, getting to the final is almost sure. If any other team gets to the final aside these two teams, it is just a lucky run. IMO the other teams have not been convincing enough in performance so far.

Right now we have the best 8 teams that have reached the quarter-finals, Cameroon, Senegal and Egypt are teams that seem stronger than the other teams that have qualified now, I think even though Egypt had a bit of difficulty in the group phase and their qualification yesterday was determined by penalty, but Egypt is still a strong team, admit it or not, but Salah has a strong factor to make Egypt as one of the candidates for the championship African Cup of Nations.

In the African Cup today, Ivory Coast and Egypt are playing against each other. Even though Ivory Coast have shown a much better performance than Egypt so far in the tournament, I think that Egypt will make a surprise and qualify for the quarter finals in this draw which includes only one match.

Just as I expected, Egypt managed to move Ivory Coast out of the tournament by the penalty shoot-outs despite not showing a good performance. I expect them to be the qualifier after the Morocco match also.

The match between Ivory Coast and Egypt was really quite tough and drained players from both teams for 120 minutes, from the statistics that both teams had many chances but they failed to score a single goal in that match, and even I saw many fouls in the match and forced the referee to often stop the game, in my opinion, Egypt seems now to be a strong candidate to win AFCON this year because having a fairly capable squad.

Like I said this Afcon is about passion and zeal to win. Those who have shown it are those progressing except Comoros who couldn't make it. The big teams packing like nobody's business, new football has evolved a lot and it's great to see the team who were given no chance to qualify to the next stages making it and proving the majority wrong. Like the last time Senegal and Equatorial Guinea met, Equatorial Guinea got the upper hand. This is going to be a tightly contested quarter final match. This time around Senegal looks like they will win on paper and they will most likely make the finals. On the other hand, I doubt if Egypt will beat Morocco. Cameroon are yet to prove themselves worthy in this tournament despite their progression.

I think heavy favorites Cameroon and Senegal don't see much problem in quarter finals and will reach to semi final easily. Other clashes are different though. Tunisia is slightly favorite but their performance was not that impressing. The hardest clash would be Egypt and Morocco though, both teams have similar chance for semi final. Egypt passed Ivory Coast in penalties, Morocco had easier fixture until they come to quarter final. We don't know how good they can play against better opponents. I still favor Morocco one step ahead.

Senegal and Cameroon are so far the only teams in the tournament that show a confident game, the rest surprise (or even shock like Nigeria). The odds of Cameroon winning the quarter-finals are now estimated at 1.54 and Senegal at 1.59. While Egypt is rated as an outsider in the match against Morocco and has odds of 3.25. Tunisia and Burkina Faso have almost identical quotes. I think it's more profitable to multi bet on the favorites and avoid betting on the last two matches.

AFCON has been boring since the start, no much goals, most of the matches played are less than 2 goals, also the round of 16 knockout has been boring, let us see if this will still later change but I doubt that.

It might be pretty boring from the quality and goal perspective, but also it is pretty dramatic. With Nigeria and Ivory Coast two favorites are already out. Now all eyes are on Senegal and Cameroon. They seem to have an easy way into the final, but this tournament has shown that it is good for surprises. I do expect them to win their quarter finals, but the semi-final could get very interesting.

After Nigeria and Ivory coast got knocked out I gamble based on favouritism because there is no reasonable statistics to base my prediction on. But to be frank the AFCON tournament has been boring from the onset. Cameroon could likely play the finals because they are the host country and maybe matches might just work out to their favour. I have decided to take what ever comes from AFCON prediction in good faith

Cameroun had not really face a formidable opponents so far in the ongoing AFCON, they defeated Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Comoros and drew Cape Verge all these countries are not a force to reckon with in term of football in Africa, it was all easy matches for the host country, until they play a North African country like Egypt or Morroco and wins then I will begin to consider them as a likely AFCON Trophy contender, its quite unfortunate that Nigeria and Ivory coast all Cup contenders crashed out of the tournament, I am predicting one of the North African country winning it.

Ivory Coast - Egypt

Bookmakers give some unrealistic odds for this match: 1.3 - 4.6 - 15.0

These are weird odds.
I get 2.2 - 2.9 - 3.6

Maybe on your platform a whale already bet an ridiculous amount on Ivory Coast and the platform wants to hedge Grin

Yes, it was just a mistake of the local bookmaker, I was too lazy to check quotes on other services (or I was just so shocked) and I immediately wrote here. Naturally, it was not possible to place a bet with such a coefficient.

It is rather sad that the performance again beats negative records and both matches ended in a penalty shootout. It's good that Egypt went further.
