I think the reason Nigeria didn’t win against Tunisia is was because of the coach, he didn’t have enough tactics and ideas and I am sure he lack experience as well, he was very predictable and it was an easy job for Tunisia who just had to mark out the both wings because that is where almost all the goals Nigeria scored in the tournament came from. And in making substitutions he made a lot of mistakes and at the end of the day he lost. Although the end of the match was a bit promising because of the tension and the team knows they needed to get something that would have taken them to an extra time at least but it didn’t come.

You maybe right and i thought as well too,  right from the beginning of the AFCON Simon moses, Chukweze,  and kelechi has always been the men of the game which Nigeria always score. The Tunisia players were so hard on this men, they didn't give them chance. With this situation the Nigeria coach was supposed help to come with a strategy that would have been easy the players.

Imagine my surprise when I multi bet yesterday and three "guaranteed" outcomes were not in my favor - Nigeria didn't win, Real didn't win, Arsenal didn't win 
Today there are two interesting matches again, and again, like yesterday, the first one seems random, and the second one is like a guaranteed victory for Cameroon, but I'm not sure of anything anymore 

who could have imagined that easy to predict games would turn into a nightmare, how the hell did nigeria lose in such a way?

how could real madrid not be able to beat a team like that?

How Arsenal couldn't win and couldn't even score 1 goal?

were surprising results in a negative way

Shit happens 



It really was an incredible event for these three outcomes to happen in a negative way. But I'm even glad that they happened in one of my multibets and not in three different ones. I hope I paid the black swans tax in full  I wonder what was the coefficient of the multibet on these outcomes in the variant that occurred. Probably more than 20.

I agree if comoros wins today all the ones who betted for it they gonna get huge profits the odds reached 160 versus 1.02 for cameron. And i won't really be surprised if comoros do it and beat cameroon because this competition is full of surprises and things are happening out of expectations.

My guess was correct. Cameroon won the match. I also won my bet. Cameroon had an easy choice in this match. But, no team is too strong in here. So there could be any result in the match. Comoros lost the match against Cameroon, but the match was quite enjoyable. Comoros did enough chests to score. Cameroon's goalkeeper Onana saved quite a bit. He made 6 saves. Onana contributed a lot to Cameroon's victory in this match.

Gambia, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and Tunisia have already confirmed a place in the quarter-finals, so far the home team have progressed quite well and in the quarter-finals they will also face a relatively weaker team namely Gambia, apart from Egypt and Ivory Coast, in my opinion Cameroon is one of the strong candidates as a country that will be able to win and bring home the 2022 African Cup trophy.

Actually, I think the match was good and quite enjoyable at least till the 66th minute.
Even though Tunisia scored at the 47th minute, for me the red card at the 66th minute actually killed the game otherwise if you look at the stats I think the match was really even.

The stats actually suggest that Nigeria was the better team in that match. But I think if Nigeria could have a little more shots on target and if they could avoid the red card they would have had a really good chance of getting something from that match.

Senegal vs Cape Verde
In this match I bet for Senegal. Because I know there are some star players in the Senegal team. Sadio Mane is Senegal's striker, he is a key player in the Liverpool team. Idrissa Gana Gueye and Abdou Diallo are playing at PSG. Bouno Sarr is a defender of Bayern Munich. With so many good players, I expect Senegal to win today's match.
Senegal made just three shots in the first half, none of which were on target. Cape Verde made no attack. They probably want to draw with zero goals.

[hahay]

It seems that this tournament has produced a lot of red cards from yesterday's match to today's match, maybe it's because the tension is getting higher in this round of 16. With this one red card in the first half for Cape Verde and I think it's clear, Senegal will continue their good trend of dominating head to head. It's a shame Cape Verde can't be so calm because with this lack of players it is certainly difficult for Cape Verde to continue to defend, because if the number of players is still balanced I'm pretty sure Cape Verde can win the match.

[snipie]

I'm not an expert on the African football,but it seems to me that this tournament is totally unpredictable and the big favorites like Nigeria and Algeria didn't play very well.

You are definitely an expert when you say that AFCON games results are random and unpredictable
Many expected Nigeria to win but surprise! Then Gambia passing Guinea! and Comoros annoying Cameroon... Can you imagine a team playing with 10 players almost the whole game, with no goalkeeper, even the poor defender that forced to be a goalkeeper due to covid touching all 3 officials goalkeeper, forgot many times to spread his arms to get the ball out from the goalie... Yet they managed to lose with only 2 goals to 1... Shamefull result for Cameroon vs a broken team. What's incredible is to see Cameroon boys and officials celebrating when they scored vs a s broken club. I saw so many people respecting Comoros and blaming leaders for running this pity event. I assume even FIFA want to forgot it as soon as possible..
Now we have to see when Senegal will score, 50 minutes passed and still no goals.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Both, Egypt and Ivory Coast are strong teams on paper. Bookmakers see Ivory Coast in front by a bit.

If the bookmakers put the Ivory Coast team ahead, I would definitely bet on Egypt. I will take the risk, and if Egypt can win, I will benefit more. I bet on Egypt because Mohammed Salah is here. One of my favorite players is Salah

Senegal is still in the branch to the final for Tunisia. In fat they are probably the strongest team there now and should be watched. Today they should qualify against Cape Verde.

Senegal is not a weak team though. However, today they are not able to play well against Cape Verde. Cape Verde 10 players are playing but Senegal are not able to score a goal.

The 2nd game today is Morocco vs Malawi. Morocco should qualify here. The difficulty will await in the quarter finals ( the winner from the Egypt vs Ivory Coast match)

Morocco will win against Malawi. I think one is an easy choice. Morocco are the favorites in this match. I will bet on their victory.

Senegal made just three shots in the first half, none of which were on target. Cape Verde made no attack. They probably want to draw with zero goals.

Senegal takes the lead through Sadio Mané's goal during the second half. Senegal is an average team without Mane and Gueye. Despite having three shots in the first half, the Senegal team was unlucky with that first shot. There have been a lot of red cards issued by referees in this Afcon. VAR makes the game less physical! With VAR, the beauty of African city, where muscles talked more than skills, was destroyed! Isn't that so? You won! Congratulations.

Is not of surprise that Senegal will win cape Verde because i see cape Verde like group of team that qualify with luck in their group, so every one know very well that Senegal, Egypt and Nigeria is the strongest team among the teams that play AFCON cup, so Senegal wining cape Verde is not surprising, the goals of Senegal suppose to be above the score, as the match ended with 2:0 Senegal vs cape Verde, the match was easy to Senegal to defeat.

Did you watch the match? It was the toughest victory for Senegal - they won with great difficulty despite the fact that they played in the numerical majority (first with one player, then with two). The refereeing, by the way, was not ideal, I think that if such refereeing was in the direction of the favorite, and not the underdog, then there would be a big scandal. And now formally everything is fine - the favorite has won.

You are right. However, Senegal won the match 2-0. But winning the match was not easy for them. Especially in the first half, the two teams played very defensively. Senegal did not attack much. But in the second half, they took full advantage of the 9 players of Cape Verde. And made one attack after another. Mane's goal in the 63rd minute and Ahmadou Dieng's goal in extra time were two great things

Malawi scorred a great goal against morrocan team in the first 10 minutes. But i see it a good opportunity to bet on morroco now to win the game even with this situation

It's still amusing that Senegal had to wait for the Cape Verd to go two men down for them to win; they have good players on the team, but they're all performing below expectations; what may be the problem? Is the coach present? On a second note, the players appear frail from the first game. I had high expectations for them, and there was a lot of buzz surrounding the team. But something doesn't seem right since they don't deserve to be where they are right now because they have been poor.

There have been a lot of red cards issued by referees in this Afcon. VAR makes the game less physical! With VAR, the beauty of African city, where muscles talked more than skills, was destroyed! Isn't that so? You won! Congratulations.

VAR and refs are killing the beautiful games they ought to do better it's getting boring seeing a lot of reds

morocco 0 vs  1 malawi
Malawi scorred a great goal against morrocan team in the first 10 minutes. But i see it a good opportunity to bet on morroco now to win the game even with this situation

Malawi scored in the seventh minute of the match. The goal was scored by striker Gabadinho Mhango. The main reason AFCON matches are not exciting is that, if a team can score the first goal, they lose the tendency to attack and score the second goal. There are very few teams that do not play defensively after scoring the first goal. But Malawi is not such a team. They scored a goal. And in the last 35 minutes after scoring a goal, they have not made any more attacks. Morocco is controlling the match. But Malawi is more likely to win.

Yeah i agree once malawi scored they went totally defensive and started to just kill the game and waste time for morroco but the only thing made bet on morroco is that they have a great attack and their players use to these games when they just defend with the whole team. And right before the first-round ends morroco scored and back to the game again
morocco 1 vs  1 malawi

Morocco is controlling the match. But Malawi is more likely to win.

The score is 1-1 now at half time. Morocco to win after 90min is at 1.26, Malawi is at 26. If you really believe Malawi can come back to win, you should put your money on it

Malawi has been playing defensively since score the first goal. It is very annoying to enjoy such defensive gameplay. However, despite playing defensively, they were not able to defend themselves. They conceded a goal in 45 + 2 minutes and drew 1-1 for the first time. From Malawi's gameplay, I understand that if they try and score more goals in the second half they will concede a few more goals.

[mardaed]

These matches can go either way. It's nice to see that low-rated teams can still do well. Many teams have a few good players but the rest is a lot less. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a champion in this tournament where no player plays in a top team of a top European competition. Lots of mistakes are made, but that adds to the entertainment value.

[dataispower]

Morocco and Malawi is playing a defensive game, despite that Morocco possession is making is of advantages than Malawi, but what the country needs is goals is not all about the possession and accuracy, the way am even seeing the match i think it will end up with penalty and the luckiest team can win with chance, but if Morocco leave defensive and add more pressure they can win Malawi.
