Not at those odds - tough group, might struggle to qualify here. I'd put them at around 12-1.

Group betting also available if anyone thinks it's a safer way to back some teams which might be value on this stage.

[russnuss]

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Definitely think cameroon are worth a punt, in a relatively easy group probably have the best striker in the tournament in Samuel Eto'o and not qualified for the world cup so will be out to prove a point, all of which point to a punt on the indomitable lions for me.

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Cameroon and Tunisia look good bets to both win their groups IMO

[bbk]

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Just been having a good look at Cameroon for there group and I have a slight problem with Togo from the bbc site Having missed the last finals in 2004, they made it to Egypt 2006 by winning a tough pool which also included Senegal. Togo's mean defenders conceded just eight goals in 10 qualifying matches but they will be severely tested when Nigerian Keshi leads them into battle in Egypt. Could cause a few problems for everyone making the group a bit tighter. Has anyone actually seen them play though?

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets I wrote this up last week on another site - anyway, thought it might be of interest to some here too: Looking forward to this - thought I'd start the ball rolling by posting up my preview from the Newsletter. 2006 African Nations Cup - Jan 20 to Feb 10 Here’s my take on the Nations Cup. The Attack, Defence and Overall rankings are my own. They are based on performances at home and away during the last 5 years, with the most recent games weighting more heavily. The strengths of the opposing teams were also taken into account. The rankings are from 1=top, through to 16=lowest for the 16 finalists. The odds quoted are from Bet365. Group A Egypt has an outstanding home record - this team scores goals! 20/04/2000 Mauritius 23/04/2000 Egypt 4 2 Mauritius 02/09/2000 Egypt 1 0 Ivory Coast 14/01/2001 Egypt 4 0 Libya 28/01/2001 Egypt 0 0 Morocco 11/03/2001 Egypt 5 2 Algeria 06/05/2001 Egypt 1 0 Senegal 03/06/2001 Egypt 3 2 Sudan 13/07/2001 Egypt 8 2 Namibia 08/06/2003 Egypt 7 0 Mauritius 20/06/2003 Egypt 6 0 Madagascar 20/06/2004 Egypt 1 2 Ivory Coast 05/09/2004 Egypt 3 2 Cameroon 27/03/2005 Egypt 4 1 Libya 05/06/2005 Egypt 6 1 Sudan 04/09/2005 Egypt 4 1 Benin WCQ/ANQ: 3^rd behind Ivory Coast and Cameroon, but ahead of Libya Attack: 1 Defence: 11 Overall: 2 Odds: 5/1 My view: Home advantage and locally based players can take this team all the way. They remind me of…Man United at Old Trafford Look out for…An Egyptian military general instructing the opposition to go out and ‘lose for your own safety’ – as is rumoured happened in the 1986 final against Cameroon. Egypt won in extra time! Ivory Coast has a star-packed squad whose confidence is sky-high. WCQ/ANQ: 1^st ahead of Cameroon, Egypt and Libya Attack: 4 Defence: 3 Overall: 3 Odds: 6/1 My view: Don’t believe the hype – just yet. Three North African teams to deal with in this group is a very tall order – effectively three away matches in a continent where home advantage is very significant. Nice team to watch though possibly facing an early exit. They remind me of…Arsenal Look out for…so many squandered chances, you’ll wonder how any team could miss so many – as this is the way they have played at every Nation’s Cup in memory. Let’s hope the president doesn’t lock them up again… Morocco has a super-solid defence, and their third coach in three months… WCQ/ANQ: 2^nd behind Tunisia, but ahead of Guinea Attack: 10 Defence: 1 Overall: 7 Odds: 14/1 My view: The runners-up in the last Nations Cup might struggle to get through this group with drawn games or a poor goal difference. But watch out for this North African team if they get to the knockout stages as this team just doesn’t concede goals (unless, see below…). They remind me of…Liverpool Look out for…The goalkeeper inexplicably missing a cross, with three covering defenders jumping together and heading an own goal – as happened in their last WCQ against Tunisia. A goal that put Morocco out! Libya has an in-form defence, but plays terribly away from home. WCQ/ANQ: 4^th behind Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Egypt Attack: 16 Defence: 8 Overall: 14 Odds: 100/1 My view: They can beat good teams in Tripoli, but rarely gain a point away. Libya might sneak a goalless draw somewhere, but nothing else. They remind me of…Portsmouth Look out for…Gaddafi’s son – he used to be the centre forward and he’s still a reserve striker for Udinese!

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets superb write up - cheers mate :ok looks like Egypt may well be worth a punt then

[davidmphill]

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Ivory Coast for me. They have strength all over the park and can win at fairly decent odds but Egypt are the side everyone will have to beat. Should be an interesting and fairly open tournament this year.

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets I like the 16/1 about Morroco who have good a d efence and are hard to score past . They are in the 'group of death' But if they get that past that they will have great chance.

[mr onemore]

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Group B Cameroon has an excellent defence, and is one team that can win in Africa when playing away from home. WCQ/ANQ: 2^nd behind Libya Attack: 7 Defence: 2 Overall: 5 Odds: 9/2 Fav My view: Favourites, but based on reputation mostly. This team was only a ‘265^th minute time added on for being at home’ penalty miss away from Germany. A lot depends on whether Eto'o plays or stays with Barcelona, but they will certainly take some beating. They remind me of…Chelsea, but with old players Look out for… their sponsors coming up with another dodgy kit, like that one-piece rubbish from the last Nations Cup. Angola has a decent strike force that has been under-performing recently. WCQ/ANQ: 1^st ahead of Nigeria and Zimbabwe Attack: 12 Defence: 4 Overall: 10 Odds: 14/1 My view: No team from Southern Africa ever does anything up here, and Angola are one of the worst travelling teams. Ironically, it was a 1-0 away win in Rwanda that gave them the passport to Germany. It was their first away win in five years. Will take an early plane home… They remind me of…West Ham Look out for… lots of sendings off. Their friendly in Portugal last year was abandoned after five players got their marching orders…and they’ll be in Portugal’s group in Germany Togo has a fantastic counter-attacking team, but they always seem to concede an early goal… WCQ/ANQ: 1^st ahead of Senegal and Zambia Attack: 5 Defence: 12 Overall: 9 Odds: 14/1 My view: Good chances to qualify here ahead of the Southern African teams. If so then anything can happen. They possess an unstoppable World Class striker in Adebayor of Monaco (Arsenal now!!!!!) – think of a tall but polite Wayne Rooney. They remind me of…Wigan Look out for… the goalkeeper (nicknamed magic hands!) sprinkling magical voodoo-liquid on the penalty spot, as happens just after kick-off in every match. It works, as his penalty save against Senegal showed in what was a crucial World Cup qualification match. D.R.Congo has a decent strike force, but they underperform away from home WCQ/ANQ: 2^nd behind Ghana, but ahead of South Africa Attack: 14 Defence: 14 Overall: 15 Odds: 50/1 My view: Another team that cannot play in North Africa. Recent results include 3-0 and 6-0 drubbings in Tunisia. Libya and Rwanda (in the last Nations Cup) have also beaten DRC on their trips to North Africa. Expect an early exit. They remind me of…West Brom Look out for… the moaning striker Lua-Lua to pull out of the squad at the last minute, as often happens.

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Like the look of the Ivory Coast they have some of the best players and a good squad. Toure in defence, Didier Zokora in midfield and Drogba upfront are three excellent players. Cameroon, havnt qualified for the world cup so maybe they will want to bounce back in style. They have one of the best strikers in the world in Samual Eto'o also Geremi is a class act aswell. Tunisia have an easy group with Zambia,Guinea and South Africa. They have a good manager in Roger Lemmere and are the current holders They have some good players and a strong defence with Trabesli from Ajax and Jaidi from Bolton. Cameroon to win group B @ 1.67 betfred Tunisia to win group C @ 1.91 betfred Didier Drogba top goal scorer @ 10 bluesq Ivory Coast to win @ 7.5 betfair

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Some good info in here I'm not sure myself what I'm gonna do yet, I think Egypt will be hard to beat but Ivory coast and Cameroon will be tough as well. Hopefully this tournament will be profitable though :hope

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets Im going to have an each way tickle on Togo at 14's but Ill be focusing mainly on betting on singles throughout the tournament.

[Ceirtlis]

Re: African Nations Cup Winner and Tournament Bets I am going to wait and see how the tournament starts before putting down any serious money. I think two teams to look at opposing are ghana without star player essien and south africa who constantly seem to be in disarray. Two teams i might have a bet on winning the tournament are tunisia and senegal. Tunisia are the holders and have what looks a fairly easy group and senegal have the players but have question marks over temperament.
