Also, Not just on these two games, TopbetsSA picks the top five betting fixtures you can place your money on, plus extra tips for our readers.
Senegal vs Gambia
Senegal, current AFCON champions, start their title defense in Yamoussoukro, hoping for a stronger opening than their slow 2021 group stage performance. They aim to replicate their previous knockout stage success. With an impressive record since early 2023, they’re poised to become the fourth team in AFCON history to defend their title successfully.
Meanwhile, Gambia faces challenges after a harrowing flight incident left the team mentally shaken. Despite being the lowest-ranked AFCON team, they surprised many by reaching the quarter-finals in 2021. Key players include Senegal’s Sadio Mané, a potential record-breaker, and Gambia’s young talent Yankuba Minteh, already making waves in European football.
Verdict:
considering the current form and historical performance, Senegal appears to have the upper hand. Their squad, bolstered by the likes of Sadio Mané, possesses both experience and skill. Gambia, despite their underdog status and recent adversities, has shown resilience and the ability to surprise. Expect a competitive match, but Senegal might just have the edge to secure a victory.
Tip: Senegal to Win ✅
Cameroon vs Guinea
Cameroon, five-time AFCON champions, starts their campaign with hopes of emulating their 1984 success in Ivory Coast. Despite missing goalkeeper André Onana, they have a strong opening record in the tournament and have lost only two of their last nine competitive games. They face Guinea, a team with a consistent record of reaching the knockout stages and recent wins, including a victory over Nigeria. The key matchup will be between Cameroon’s substitute goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa and Guinea’s prolific striker Serhou Guirassy. Cameroon also boasts an impressive streak of not losing in 17 competitive matches when scoring first.
Verdict
Cameroon, with their historical prowess and recent form, seems to have a slight advantage, even without André Onana. Guinea, on the other hand, has shown resilience and the capability to upset stronger teams. The key battle between Fabrice Ondoa and Serhou Guirassy could be decisive. Given these dynamics, Cameroon might edge out a win, but expect a closely contested match where either side could triumph.
