Copa Africa predictions today – 30/06/2019

Copa Africa

The action in Africa continues and there are 4 Copa Africa tips to consider today.

Burundi – Guinea

Burundi needs a win to come 3rd and fight for one of the 4 spots (of the six 3rd placed teams) for the round of “16”. However, they look like a weak link in the group and it will be a surprise to get even a point tonight.

Guinea has not proved strong enough but are still in the game. A win could make them quite optimistic regarding qualification as a 2nd or even as a best 3rd. They have the squad to reach their first victory and just need to prove it on pitch.

Guinea’s odds to win have climbed down in the last 24h so I looked for an alternative that I think is really strong. Same odds, but better.

Madagascar – Nigeria

All I knew about Madagascar was that it is an interesting country to visit. Okay, I admit, the animated movies too. So, I guess we are at the Madagascar 4. Four, as the points that have been collected by them in the group so far. One point tonight is enough to secure the 2nd spot and beating Nigeria would mean winning the group.

Nigeria is strong though. Two wins, both by 1-0, sometimes is hard to ‘interpret’. Are they too strong defensively or not as strong in the attack? I could not conclude just yet since they have only played against Guinea and Burundi. But my main concern ahead of today’s game is: Will they compensate? A draw is enough to take them through as group winners.

That scenario, of the draw, is my pick for this game and both teams will be happy.

Uganda – Egypt

Similar scenario with Group B’s match above. Both teams qualify as 2nd (Uganda) and 1st (Egypt) if they draw.

However, in this case, I believe that Egypt will be more… interested in winning. Will Uganda score, means they might reach a 1-1 scoreline at some point in the game. Egypt should score in my opinion but I will not go for a BTTS (both teams to score) bet. I will stick with the 2-3 goals. Simply put, just in the case that Egypt plays as well as they can, which would mean a 2-0 win.

bullet Tip: 2-3 goals at 2.00 with bet365

Zimbabwe v Congo DR

Zimbabwe has collected a point (1-1 vs Uganda) so far. They also lost to Egypt (0-1), showing some consistence at least defensively. They are coming from a win-less run of 4 matches (0-3-1), all ended with Under 2.5 goals.

Congo DR is at zero points but still in it. A victory against Zimbabwe will see them 3rd in the group fighting for one spot on the last “16”. Both defeats came with the same scoreline, 0-2, which is a bit worrying. However there is some attacking talent in the team and they have a last chance to prove it.

Congo DR it is then. Away win at high odds and… low stakes of course.

bullet Tip: 2 at 2.50 with bet365
