30/01 Weekend Tips:  Morocco vs South Africa AFCON Bet Tips

Betting Tips 

In the African Cup of Nations, an exciting clash is set to take place between Morocco and South Africa. Morocco, a team with a strong showing in the World Cup and a solid performance in the group stage of the AFCON, enters as the favorite. They face a South African team that has had mixed results, winning only one of their three group matches. The match promises to be a compelling encounter, with Morocco looking to capitalize on their recent form and South Africa aiming to defy expectations and make a significant impact.

In the English Premier League, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal are gearing up for a crucial match. Nottingham Forest, having achieved promotion in 2022, has been relying heavily on their formidable home form at the City Ground, where they have triumphed in their last three matches against Arsenal. On the other hand, Arsenal has been struggling with away games, winning only a few of their recent away fixtures. This match presents a critical test for both teams, with Forest aiming to continue their home dominance and Arsenal seeking to improve their away record.

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.     

Morocco vs South Africa

Morocco is favored to win against South Africa in their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations last 16 match, based on their strong recent performances. While both teams won their home games in the tournament’s qualifying round, Morocco’s overall results suggest they have the upper hand. 

South Africa has struggled offensively, failing to score in several recent games, and now faces Morocco’s strong defense. Morocco, with momentum from their World Cup semi-final run and a solid group stage performance in this tournament, looks well-positioned to defeat South Africa, as they did in the 2019 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Verdict:

Morocco, having secured seven points from the group stage and building on their success as World Cup semi-finalists, are well-positioned to secure a victory against South Africa, a team that managed only one win in their three group matches.

Tip: Morocco to Win or Draw

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal

Under the management of Nuno Espirito Santo, Nottingham Forest has shown marked improvement, with notable wins and only two losses in seven matches. The City Ground, their home venue, has been a stronghold, contributing significantly to their success in the Premier League. Forest has a strong home record against Arsenal, including a victory in their last meeting, boosting their confidence for their upcoming match.

Arsenal, in contrast, has struggled in away games recently, with a lack of victories and defensive issues. This sets the stage for a potentially high-scoring draw, with Forest’s consistent scoring under Nuno’s leadership.

Chris Wood, revitalized under Nuno, has emerged as a key player for Forest, scoring frequently, including against former teams. His past performance against Arsenal and current form suggest he could play a crucial role in the upcoming match, possibly leading to another draw between the two teams.

Verdict

Since their return to the Premier League in 2022, Nottingham Forest’s success has been largely driven by their strong performance at home, including winning their last three encounters with Arsenal at the City Ground. Meanwhile, Arsenal has been facing challenges in away matches, securing only three victories in their last 11 away games.
