Africa Nations Cup 2022 Picks & Predictions
If the odds are anything to go by, then this Africa Cup of Nations tournament will be one of the most competitive and unpredictable to date. We make some picks for those taking part in AFCON betting, as well as provide you with some excellent African Cup of Nations betting tips.
The inclusion of 24 teams (up from 16) at the 2019 AFCON Cup was an excellent move by the CAF. With even more teams involved now, it makes for a far more exciting competition.
It’s difficult to predict how the competition will pan out in 2022. African football is on the rise, with an increasing number of countries producing excellent talent. Countries like Ghana, Morocco, and Senegal.
Algeria turned up in the final to take the AFCON Cup 2019, with players like Riyad Mahrez they could easily do it again. The Manchester City man will line up next to Slimani, Brahimi and Feghouli when they head to Cameroon. But, the bookies don’t fancy them this year. Unlike Eygpt, who have Liverpool superstar Mohammad Salah.
Liverpool’s star forward and recent Champions League winner Sadio Mane is a key part of the Senegal team which will go to Cameroon in 2022. He’ll be alongside players like Koulibaly, Gueye and Niang are also enjoying great domestic success. The outright AFCON 2022 winners odds will likely favour a Senegal win.
Ghana has made a great start to the tournament. They have an excellent squad to work within 2022. They’ll be led by players such as; Gyan, Ayew and Asamoah. The bookies will recognize their squad and performance and will likely have decent odds for the competition.
What are the Types of Africa Cup of Nations Betting Odds
Africa Nations Cup betting odds aren’t limited to futures markets – each of the 52 matches at AFCON 2022 can be bet on, and whenever you’re betting on individual soccer games there are stacks of different lines and markets for you to choose from.
The key thing to remember when betting on international soccer tournaments is that unlike the majority of North-American sports, moneyline bets have three outcomes. All matches including the knockout stage fixtures can finish as a draw after 90 mins in addition to a win or loss to your team.
The good news is that you will always get better moneyline odds on soccer bets, so as long as you’re aware that the draw is always a possibility, you’ll have the potential to receive a higher payout on all moneyline soccer wagers.
If you prefer a two-option outcome, all top sportsbooks will give you the chance to eliminate the draw by selecting the ‘draw no bet’ line, which results in a push (or refunded bet) in the event a draw occurs. In knockout matches, you can select the ‘odds to progress’ line to select the winner of the match including any possible extra-time or penalty shootout.
