Burkina Faso, who plays terrific football, I believe, will cause an upset.

Burkina faso to win almost 6 odds, worth a few bucks,, we've seen so many upsets in this tourney, who knows, we might the biggest one very soon  
But, just like the line against Equatorial Guinea, Senegal moneyline looks very attractive... 1.80? a team that's unbeaten in 10+ games? pretty good ngl

OK you guys are really convincing me for this. I will try to put a bet on this if there is a Super Boost in time for it. Maybe 1 bet on Burkina Faso to win, and another on Senegal -1 goals?

Ok, I am in as well. I feel better when I lose bets with odds around 6 then those @1.5
Just checked H2H, they played 3 times and all three matches ended as a draw, granted last 2 games were in 2017 so I am not sure teams can be compared. But it smells like a draw to me so I will probably play something small on Burkina Faso and a bigger bet Burkina not to lose.

Edit: As I wrote this I am leaning more and more towards the draw and thinking about it, draw is probably the way to go. At least for me.

Yes, the best result Senegal can hope for is a tie and a shot at a penalty shootout, as I'm convinced the game will be decided by a penalty shootout if Burkina Faso performs as expected.

I'm going for Burkina Faso DNB @ 3.50

I'm going for Burkina Faso DNB @ 3.50

Don't know exactly why but I always hated draw no bet. I don't have a logic reason for it, just hate it I always opt for ML or double chance.

At least we are all in agreement, so Burkina Faso will have a couple of supporters more when the game comes.

Salah and Mane will be with their national teams in the African Cup. If they both qualify for the final, I think we should enjoy watching these two great players from Liverpool compete against each other. This will make it very interesting to watch, especially if they qualify for the final round of the African Cup in 2022.!!! Are you excited to see Salah and Mane in the final?

Yes because those two players are doing well in their clubs and they will still perfume wonders in this tournament to make their fans get more joy about them. Many fans can't wait to watch them on final because their match will be interesting to witness those two African professional players in the tournament. Salah has performed well in Liverpool and he will still perfume well in this African cup 2022 to prove to his fans that no were he cannot show his identity or performance.
I know Egypt will definitely qualify for final because their players know how to score early goal and defend the goal till the end of the match.

I'll probably just stick to my Over/Under bets until the finals.

I have a weird feeling that Senegal will advance to the final with relative ease, Burkina Faso have been great so far this tournament, but you might need a bit of luck to go your way too, look at Egypt for instance they were awful in the beginning of the tournament but settled in and improved their game as they came further.

interesting development here, all are in for Burkina Faso support
I supported them in last round, but here I do not think they have any chance against Senegal

good luck to all, I will stick with Senegal to qualify for final, because I am somehow sure they will, but not sure how they will do that, probably in regular time, but extra time or penalties are good as well

Indeed,,, good luck to them all but I also believe in Senegal this time. They finally scored 3 goals in the last game and I think Burkina Faso because they actually play attacking this makes it easier for teams like Senegal to score against them.

The real question for me is, Egypt have not won a game in regular time also seems like because they meet defensive teams but Cameroon is also attacking, could we see a high-goals game? I need Egypt to win this because I accidentally bet all my balance and it lost so have no more money until either few more weeks or Egypt wins Afcon

Breaking news!I picked Senegal to win on the pool and Burkina Faso to DNB on my single bet slip with a few pennies, and I also added Burkina Faso to win@ 6 20 odds on another single slip, so there's no way I'm walking away empty-handed!! If Sengal wins, I'll get a point in the pool at the very least.

The real question for me is, Egypt have not won a game in regular time also seems like because they meet defensive teams but Cameroon is also attacking, could we see a high-goals game? I need Egypt to win this because I accidentally bet all my balance and it lost so have no more money until either few more weeks or Egypt wins Afcon 

Cameroon will handle this matter with ease, and I am confident that they will, as they are already looking like champions!!

I definitely feel better to lose if bigger odds than on stupid 1.5 like I did yesterday... multibet hit 4 out of 5 and lost on the last one, which was supposed to be the safest one in my mind (odds 1.5 actually).



So anyway it looks like we are all waiting for Burkina Faso to win, as the odds are really good, but I will still wait for the sure superboost so it can go to 7.0, meanwhile, I used the freebet from above to put on Betbuilder multi:

thinking about the same
Cameroon should qualify to next round, not sure if they will be able to do it in regular time, but while Egypt has Salah, but it is really hard to win two penalty roulette on one competition?

actually, I was not watched any Cameroon matches so far, and this could be first, so would put something on live betting, after seeing how it is going

[darxiaomi]

I think Senegal its playing really bad but they goes to the final.
In the other hand idk who can be the winner Camerron have the local crowd but this can be positive or negative, Egypt its not playing good.
But i think the champion its in this leg.

[tomahawk9]

so i've decided to stay away from winners and draws in my bet slips today... while Senegal to win does look like good value given their recent form, i don't wanna underestimate Burkina Faso who have been really solid throughout the tournament,, so how about some corners, folks?

Burkina Faso avg. corner per game: 5. Senegal avg. corners per game: 6. Betbuilder x1.7 superboosted to 1.8!



BOL everyone!

I definitely feel better to lose if bigger odds than on stupid 1.5 like I did yesterday... multibet hit 4 out of 5 and lost on the last one, which was supposed to be the safest one in my mind (odds 1.5 actually).

Oman beat Australia? what was it basketball? cricket?  looks like a massive upset,, devastating

The Egyptians are strong at penalty kicks, with a goalkeeper capable of making 2-3 saves. I can't say the same about Cameroon's goalkeeper Onana, therefore it'll be up to the Cameroon to end the game on time to avoid a penalty shootout. Cameroon is a good pick at 2.20 odd.

[Harkorede]

I went with Over 1.5 goals in this one, It was offered @ 1.82.

I know the nature of the fixture it might probably end goalless or a 1 nil win for the either side, but the odds seem rather tempting for me and what's the worse that could happen.

I have Senegal for a 1-0 victory in the pool though.

Gl!

Brave bet on Afcon, maybe it will work out for you in the end but half-time ended with unpopular draw. Did not watch the game since I am on Snooker schedule today. What can I say, I follow the money and Snooker has been giving me a lot this last week, look at this beauty from today


Still have few tickets in the pipeline so it could end up a really good day for me or if it goes wrong, that one from above will keep me in the green anyway.

That's some decent win mate, congratulations.

The game has been a really attacking one but no goals to show for it. Senegal have just taken the lead in the 70th minute, and there really might not be another goal, and it could be all that's needed for Senegal to make it to the finals.

EDIT:

Wow! Senegal have just doubled their lead 

[Rruchi man]

Wow! Senegal have just doubled their lead  

It happened so quickly, safe to say Senegal has secured their tickets to the finals, hoping that the host Cameroon win tomorrow's game and make the predictions of a Senegal vs Cameroon final (two very formidable teams in this AFCON) come to pass. Will be great to see Mane, Aboubakar and Ekambi on one pitch. Burkina faso have had a good run in this tournament, the country should be proud of the team and how far they have come.

[darxiaomi]

hahaha yes man. I was working and see they keep 0-0 to 60 minute, after do some work i check again and in a few minutes 3-1.

Anyways seems like Senegal its having good luck but not good playing at all

[slaman29]

Amazingly, only 2 people picked Senegal to score 3 goals, one was darbit who even got the exact score wow.

But what was perhaps more amazing is only one guy Trofo picked a draw despite many people here predicting in this thread the upset. I am happy of course because half of my multibet is won, now Egypt can win/draw, score max 3 goals, and have at least 3 corners. Let's go!

Lol it was football and no no they drew with Australia (you can see my betslip shows 2-2) in the World Cup qualifiers that are finishing soon. I guess Asia and America are playing it now and Africa if I'm not mistaken will soon also play after AFCON tournament ends.

[buwaytress]

Sweet bets Trofo. Yet another game (or is it one of those weird games like bowling that's not considered sport?) that know nothing about, but sometimes wish I did. I mean I sort of get the concept, of course, but don't know the rules.

But great night for everyone more or less. Slaman, guess what? Australia ALSO killed me in the exact same way as you. Final leg on a 5-leg acca, but mixed with basketball, I posted it in the WC thread here. Sucks big time, huh? But unlike you, my freebet returned lost last night (I put it on a dumb Belgium football special, team won easily but needed BTTS). Good luck with Egypt part of your acca.

Me, I bet on Egypt past 2 games as 4/1+ underdogs yet still lost as Salah and co only progressed via penalties and ET win. I will probably double down on them. Cameroon are so good but Egypt are experienced. This may end up as another ET.
