In the Gambia-Cameroon game, I bet the Cameroonians will win. It is true that Gambia, by winning against Tunisia for example, showed that it can be dangerous for any opponent, but I believe that the Cameroon team is superior to its rivals in terms of skills and experience. It would be a great surprise for me if Cameroon did not advance to the next phase of the tournament.

Don't doubt Cameroon will go to the next round and win the match in 1x2 Cameroon has the advantage and more powerful players
I personally think Gambia is just lucky to have made it to this stage because previously I thought they were eliminated in the group stage
Anyway this match is interesting to wait and see if Gambia is still lucky

But unfortunately football is not always about how powerful or skillful you are but about which team wants it the most which i believe is how Gambia got this far, and if they put in more work in their game they might actually surprise us which is something am expecting to see.

I'm watching the match of cameroon vs Gambia now since I'm betting on cameroon to win i didn't realize how Gambia team are really dangerous and until now they defending very well. The player are a bit aggressive and already got two yellow cards for Gambian players and it's an advantage for cameroon hopefully. Even though i know this competition as we saw it's really full of surprises.
And waiting also for tunisia vs borkina faso match tonight and also betting on tunisia this time.

cameroon vs Gambia now since I'm betting on cameroon to win i didn't realize how Gambia team are really dangerous and defending well

Defense seems to be the game plan for the Gambian side, Cameroon is really playing good football, dominating the play as the host should. Vincent Aboubakar has a really good positioning and awareness, he definitely will be an asset to any EPL team like arsenal that can secure his signature.Gambia already have some yellow cards in this game, they have to be careful not to get a red.

First half ended draw but not long after second half in 50th minutes, K. T. Ekambi scored for Cameroon, assisted by Collins Fai, so Cameroon is now leading by 1 goal to nothing. I am thinking Gambia will soon be out soon, no shot on goal, no shot off goal from Gambia team, Cameroon is also fominating the match and leading.

Edit: Gambia 0 : 2 Cameroon

Cameroon are getting close to be the first qualifiers of the semi-finals now. Because they are just overwhelming their game against Gambia at an insanely high rate. Cameroon scored two goals in the second half finally and Toko Ekambi scored both of them. Gambia still don't have even one shot attempt in the whole game. I don't even know how they have made it to this level in the tournament though. Anyway, Cameroon are just threatening the other teams in the quarter finals by getting close to a very clear victory.

Cameroon has advanced as expected. In today's second match, there is not such a clear favorite, but I think that Tunisia has a better chance of promotion, despite the fact that it has already lost two matches in this championship. They are definitely a more experienced team than Burkina Faso. Odd @2.40 for Tunisia win seem attractive to me.

The Gambians didn't pose a serious threat to the cameroonians who dominated the match throughout the 90 minutes duration a match which the host country won convincingly their opposition doesn't look formidable to me and didn't come out to attack as if nothing is at stake to them, I don't how they got to this stage in the competition any way congratulations to cameroonians for qualifying for the semifinals of AFCON I hope they play a very tough opponent in the semifinals and not having a smooth ride just like today's match.

Cameroon won easily their game and qualified to the semi finals.It was much expected from Cameroon to win this game and the odd was just indicating that at 1.55 which I consider a good one to bet on,and if you wanted to be adventurous and play a handicap -1 as well that have worked also at the odd of near 2 from the initial odd.

Tunisia is playing against Burkina Faso which should be a balanced game but I think risking to play handicap here is dangerous,just a money line win of Tunisia including additional time is the best bet to make here as the odd is really good at 2.45 for Tunisia to win.

[Distraction]

Cameroon really got a huge victory today by defeating Gambia by a 2-0 result. The Lyon and Cameroon striker Toko Ekambi had a great day by scoring two goals in this match. Bookmakers were already favouring Cameroon highly and they turned out to be right about their choice. Gambia got only two shots and one of them on target. This was a horrible round for them and I assume that they will want to forget about it as soon as possible.    Cameroon are one of the favourites for the championship also but we will see what they will do in the next round.

I followed a part of the game and I can tell that Cameroon showed a good performance comparing to their previous matches. They missed many opportunities and they were able to get 3 - 4 goals. Nevertheless Gambia wasn't threatening them, barely made few attempts and played defence. If Gambia played differently and didn't make simple mistakes like what they did in the second goal, we might saw a different result.
Burkina Faso - Tunisia match will start in 30 minutes, I will not place any bet here since Tunisia made me lose my multi-bet

[Joca97]

Cameroon flogged Cambia 2:0 for the second half, but from the match Gambia team did not play as expected because from the second the weight of the ball was balance nobody is over powering each other but at of sudden Cameroon scored 1 goal and is not up or close to  30 minutes Cameroon score the second goal

Expected win from Cameroon and Cameroon can go all the way at home and win this title. They are so close now but i think they will have a much harder semi final then final. Both Egypt and Morocco are really hard opponents and this quarter will be intresting between these two

Exactly as we expected Cameroon is still too strong for Gambia somehow Gambia managed to get to this stage they can't do anything around 90 minutes they were only able to make 2 shots while Cameroon 18 shots. This time Ekambi is the man of the match unfortunately Vincent Aboubakar didn't score even though he usually always listed his name on the scoreboard.  Another match Burkina Faso vs Tunisia looks boring it might end in a draw.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Equatorial Guinea leads Tunisia at half time. From the beginning of the game when I saw the composure and team play from Equatorial Guinea I knew that something will go well with them. They are dominating the game, knocking the ball to every player and playing a planned football. I think the Coach had directed them properly tonight. Their wings seems to be working really well tonight and the link up play is up. Tunisia may have had more possession than them and led more dangerous attacks than them but have not really been clinical. Equatorial Guinea has more shots on target than them. They look the better team tonight I must say. They gear up and add another goal so they can knock out the game.

Cameroon flogged Gambia 2:0 for the second half, but from the match Gambia team did not play as expected

I don't know what exactly you mean by "as expected", but really nobody expected Gambia them to win Cameroon. Even after Ekambi scored the second goal of the game, the Scorpions still fought hard to equalise, and i must say they put up a good show, fighting till the last minute. They didn't loose because they didn't play well, but because the indomitable lions were the better side.

[KTChampions]

A very confident victory for Cameroon, the opponent had no chance. But even this result for the Gambia can be considered a success - hardly anyone expected at the start of the tournament that they would rise so high. Taking into account the game that Cameroon is showing now and the fact that the championship is being held in Cameroon, I would say that they are becoming the main favorites of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Burkina Faso leads 1-0 and it doesn't look like Tunisia can bounce back, but they still have 30 minutes to spare.

Assuming the match was fixed between Gambia and Morocco Gambia would have defeat Morocco, i watched the matches the only time Gambia backslide and lost interest is the second goal that did not reach like 30 minutes Cameroon give another goal, so from the first half Cameroon was not beating Gambia like that, the final match will go to Egypt and any team that will struggle to win

Apparently, the under dogs are stepping up rather than expected in this tournament and i feel indifferent about it, really. I'm not really surprised at the Cameroonians performance, in fact, they did just want I would have expected of them and that is, a smooth 2 goals to nothing victory over Gambia. Burkina Faso on the other hand is the team that is surprising me still and putting a smile on my face. I wonder how Tunisia are getting it so wrong in this game, they are dominating quite alright but finding it so difficult netting a goal. I think  that game is wrapped up already and Tunisia is sure to loose.

[swogerino]

Tunisia near elimination right now but just now at the 83 minute the player that scored the goal for Burkina Faso was sent off with a red card.These last minutes will be crucial for Tunisia to get a draw and to make the game go at additional time and if they can do so then it will be no problem for them to qualify further.However I predict this to be extremely difficult in the last remaining minutes of the game.

Gambia is a team and every team is expected to do well for their country, my i expected that Gambia will win Cameroon, the only that is there is that Cameroon have advantages enough because is the host, for normal team Cameroon is not strong so their weight is the same thing with Gambia team

Although odds are in favour of Tunisia, they got eliminated by Burkina Faso by 1 goal.
The goal was defenders mistake.. 2 players and the goalkeeper can't stop a single player. Anyway, not betting in this game was the right decision taken!
Considering the actual performance and results of the teams, I assume Cameroon gonna make it to the final game.
