Main Match Prediction

There’s a strong chance that we’ll see at least three goals scored for this Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game. As a result, we’ll go for Over 2.5 Goals and the available odds of +104 look really attractive.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (competitive matches):

  • The 2.5 line has been covered in the last 5 Gambia games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 7 of the last 10 Gambia games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 13 of the last 20 Gambia games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 6 of the last 10 Ivory Coast games.
  • The 2.5 line has been covered in 3 of the last 5 Ivory Coast games on the road.

We study the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying form as a first port of call and also make sure we’re across any injuries before making our football predictions. Then it’s a case of understanding the sort of narrative that the stats provide.

Over 2.5 Probability

The latest odds imply that our pick has a 49% prospect of winning. After careful examination, our experts calculate this probability to be somewhere between 55-60%. That means we’re regarding it as a value wager.

Bookies Have Ivory Coast as Favourites

The bookies have Ivory Coast at -200 when it comes to Full-Time Result. This implies that the favourites are 67% likely to win this Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter according to the latest betting odds. Gambia are the +550 outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.

There are two Asian Handicap options and they are Ivory Coast -0.5 at -192 or alternatively Gambia +0.5. Either go for the favourites to win or opt for the latter and get the draw on your side at +132.

A low-scoring contest will be predicted by several which is reflected in the fact that Under 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds. If you anticipate that a minimum of one side can manage a clean sheet, you might want to take the -172 about Both Teams to Score No.

The top football betting sites ensure that customers are able to choose from a wide range of options. It’s no exaggeration that they provide hundreds of markets when it comes to Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games.
