AFCON 2021 Betting Tips: 29 January 2022

The Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals kick-off on Saturday with hosts Cameroon facing Gambia and Tunisia clashing with Burkina Faso.

Senegal v Cape Verde was the only round of 16 match that was decided by a margin of more than one goal, so expect some more close contests in the quarter-finals.

Nevertheless, we have our predictions ready, and if you agree, you can either place our suggested bets separately or together in a single bet at increased odds.

Gambia v Cameroon

Cameroon have won three out of four matches at the Africa Cup of Nations, drawing the other, and the Indomitable Lions have the most fearsome attack in the tournament, with Vincent Aboubakar leading the top scorers’ race with six goals.

Gambia have had an impressive tournament so far, but the 2017 African champions are stronger than any team they have faced. Cameroon are tipped to win this one.

Best Bet: Cameroon Win

Burkina Faso v Tunisia

Tunisia set up superbly in their round of 16 clash with Nigeria, knocking out the high-flying Super Eagles.

However, they have been inconsistent throughout the course of the Africa Cup of Nations and have lost to Gambia and Mali.

Overall, the Carthage Eagles and Burkina Faso are relatively evenly-matched based on performances this month. This match is tipped to go to extra time and maybe even penalties.

Best Bet: Draw
