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.
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 3.90Burkina 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
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.
