Egypt gave everyone a big surprise against  Morocco,  the 2 goals they scored was during a hard time when nobody expected. Their defense was a bit okay during the first half game, I enjoyed the performance of Muhammad salah.

Morocco had their first goal in first half, Egypt had their first goal at 55th minutes, we all knew anything could happen at the beginning of the second half and in second half ad a whole. It was not a surprise for me, both clubs played good though.

I didn't expect Egypt to beat Morocco today either! But Sallah did his job well! Without him, of course, Egypt would never have won...
I somehow have no doubts about Senegal winning the next match! It was a miracle for Guinea to make it to the quarter-finals,

Senegal was not that playing good before than luck but now surprised everyone. Like you have said, it was a surprise to still see Guinea in the quarter final, we have the prediction that Senegal will win Guinea flawlessly. The semi final between Egypt and Cameroon is not predictable at all. I know most people will go for Senegal though, but Senegal has not faced tough teams yet.

But even Senegal was not playing good or well as you talk every one knows very well that Senegal is going to win equatorial Guinea and their is no doubt on the game, either Senegal win the final because is the strongest team among all.

I believe it's certain Senegal will be on the final game. And I was thinking the same about Cameroon, but now i see Egypt is also fighting bravely with all their strength and will for the title. It's not possible to underestimate a team which turned a game around and won like Egypt did today with Morocco. From an initial thought of a safe bet on Cameroon now I'm doubtful if I really should do it...

Senegal to play Burkina Faso next and nobody is paying attention to Burkina Faso, we are all predicting Cameroon to win Egypt and face senegal in the final, but we forget that Even Senegal will have to play hard to pass Burkina faso who seem like the underdog in that fixtures but have really fought hard to get to where they are in the competition and deserve not to just be written off like that. Burkina Faso may get to the finals, who knows?

Cameroon can not win Egypt, from the match Cameroon never encounters strong team before and win, it will be very hard for  to  equalizer the match to enter penalty, I'm even expecting Senegal and Egypt to play the final, we shall see the out come the match, if am to predict i will predict Egypt to win Cameroon

I never thought of Equatorial Guinea win against Senegal. Normally Senegal has always have good players that are good and understand football very well, that is why their performances are always outstanding. I see Senegal going far in this AFCON tournament.  I am happy Senegal won the match with good scores.

Cameroon - Senegal in the final game?

I believe it's certain Senegal will be on the final game. And I was thinking the same about Cameroon, but now i see Egypt is also fighting bravely with all their strength and will for the title. It's not possible to underestimate a team which turned a game around and won like Egypt did today with Morocco. From an initial thought of a safe bet on Cameroon now I'm doubtful if I really should do it... It must be going to be a strategical game, and if Egypt uses it at their own favour playing using the mind smartly and not only relying on physical skills, there are serious chances they can win.

It's normal if you doubt Cameroon after seeing how Egypt turned the situation around, but from one side I see weakness in Egypt while Cameroon doesn't
Cameroon is the most consistent of all the participants even i don't find a gap as is usually said here Egypt can win if a miracle is with them for example Cameroon plays with 10 players because of a red card or Egypt gets a penalty.

Certainly Egypt should not be underestimated and surprises could occur in any game but I am analysing the situation regarding the previous games and the overall performance of each team. Egypt isn't evolving, they are kind stable and struggling to show their maximum performance while Cameroon gameplay is improving from a game to another without fluctuations. Considering they are hosting the Cup, and since we are in Africa and referees there influence the match a lot unfortunately, I expect them to win. I would like to see Egypt and Salah in the final game and why not a Salah vs Mane final game but I find it quite hard to happen.

It will be a difficult match for sure for Senegal against Burkina Faso.Any team that comes such far in the tournament is not there by chance and luck because luck can help you 1 or two times but not always and it does not seem to be the case for Burkina Faso.I predict this game to end in a draw and to be decided in AET or penalties.

Egypt vs Cameroon I know Cameroon is so far the best team in the tournament judging by their results but Egypt has an international star like Salah who can be a key player in solving this match.Difficult to predict the winner here,any team can pass.

Cameroon   vs    Egypt

Considering the team gameplay of Cameroon and Egypt, there is no doubt that the Cameroon team can be kept ahead. The Cameroon is much more stable and regular than the Egyptians as a team. However, the Egyptian team often shows surprise. Their victory or defeat depends largely on Salah's performance. My prediction was that Morocco would win the match between Morocco and Egypt. But Salah's one goal and one assist helped Egypt win the match 2-1. Similarly, I would like to say that Egypt will win against Cameroon if Salah can play well.

Morocco is a north African country just like Egypt and a similarity between these sides is that they play less aggressive and physical football. Cameroon is in no mood for jokes, you shouldn't forget. if a victory of a team largely depends on the performance of one man that everyone is aware of, i will say the victory is not a certain one. The Indomitable lions are well motivated, and physically fit in performance and with the advantage of the home crowd are well able to outclass any team they face in this competition. It will be a difficult game for Cameroon, but i see them in the finals.

Cameroon have been doing well in all their  games, but I don't think if it will be easy for them to defeat Egypt. I don't expect Egypt to be easy with Cameroon,  they will try all best to see they win against Cameroon.

senegal 3 - 1 equatorial guine

this was a result that surprised me in the question of many goals that senegal managed to score, I did not expect them to manage to score many goals . with that I can consider senegal as a team that will be in the final and will play against the Cameroon, thinking egypt have Mo salah I doubt they can beat the Cameroon, so for me the final game will be: Cameroon  - senegal and the Cameroon Cameroon will be champion

If Morocco is not am Africa country what exactly are they doing in the AFCON cup, weather the map shift or not the entered African map they still an African, even Egypt, they are all white complexion but it does not mean their not African, i can say they are African by map but not complexion, the African nations cup is getting to an end and it seems Egypt is on point to win the cup

from what i can see he is saying that morocco and egypt because they are in north africa they have less aggressive football, he did not say that morocco and egypt are not from africa. what he said is true, i also have the same opinion because i have been watching this competition for years because i am from africa, my country is in south africa

Burkina Faso is another country to look out for in this Afcon. They play so well right from the beginning of the tournament. In their last match, they played and won Tunisia got me to marvel at the way they played with 10 man squad and later won.
As for Senegal, Burkina Faso is going to win them. It's a sure win for them. They might end up winning the 2022 Afcon, who can tell?

they usually win by 1 goal, so far it would not be a problem, the problem arises when they are going to play against an opponent who has scored many goals and I think that in this matter of who will be the winner, senegal will win the game if they have good defense so that they take it out take advantage of the fact that Burkina Faso does not score many goals

[Maestro75]

Egypt isn't evolving, they are kind stable and struggling to show their maximum performance while Cameroon gameplay is improving from a game to another without fluctuations.

It will shock you that Egypt will play in the finals and also take the trophy. You may not like their pattern of play and you think they are a struggling side but you have to know that they are playing to instruction to conserve energy. That is what matters. Not what the Nigerian team did by winning all their three group matches and then lost miserably to Tunisia.

It can be possible for Egypt to win the trophy, they have what it takes to win a trophy,  so it won't be a surprise to me. With the performance of their last match I think Egypt is doing better that when the tournament started.

Are you really that confident that Egypt will win this African Cup? In such a case, you can make some easy money, as the bookmakers do not consider them as favorites and give great odds for them to win:

Senegal 2.55

Cameroon 2.85

Egypt 3.90

Burkina Faso 10.10

In my opinion, Senegal and Cameroon have the best chance of winning, and especially Cameroon as this championship is their home venue.

i would definitely be shocked if burkina faso became champion, egypt has a chance, they win games in a painful way but it is teams like this that most of the time become champions, well at least in african tournaments it has been frequent to see that, in the end big teams with greater odds hardly become champions in africa competitions

if I'm going to place a bet I don't risk going against bookmakers

If Egypt can defeat the host country Cameroon in the semifinals, they will lift the Cup, they keep on improving in all their subsequent matches since they lost their first match against Nigeria, I agreed that they are playing according to their game plan, I believe cameroon will have their first test playing against a formidable opponent in the semifinals having been playing easy matches so far in the competition, though they might have a home advantage which I believe wouldn't matter at this stage of the competition.

Just judging by the odds I too in this case would trust and agree with the bookmakers,I would place 100 USD as an example on Senegal and 100 USD on Cameroon which seems to be the favorites especially Cameroon having that home crowd advantage,in such tournaments having a whole crowd support you can make a big difference.By betting those money I am risking 200 for a minimum of 55 USD plus but I also am not risking much because those two teams are some of the best so I consider this a low risk bet which most probably I am going to make.

[LGD2Business]

Egypt came from behind and advanced in overtime. Morocco were an important contender, even looking one step ahead this round, but they were eliminated.
Senegal won comfortably as expected. They showed that they are the favorites of the tournament. Kouyate also scored after a long time.
Tunisia's elimination was a big surprise. Now I see Cameroon and Senegal ahead for the championship. Will Egypt make another surprise? Difficult but not impossible. I don't think Burkina Faso has any chance.

[Fakhrulenclix]

I think the semi-final against burkina faso will be easy to pass. the final match became a balanced match against egypt
Mane will clash sharpness with his team-mates at Liverpool.
I'm sure Senegal will win the Africa Cup of Nations.

are you so sure that Senegal can easily advance to the final? I don't think it's easy, this is a big championship which of course all teams are ready, let alone having entered the semifinals of course there will be many surprises that can happen.

and your prediction about the Egypt team that will enter the final I may also doubt because Egypt will face Cameroon in the semifinals of course it will be a very big opponent, if you look at the last match of the two countries in the 2017 African Cup of Nations, Cameroon managed to come out victorious, certainly not something that it is impossible for Cameroon to repeat that victory.
