There is plenty to like about this tournament and the betting markets are definitely starting to heat up thanks to some of the contests we have seen so far.

Taking a look at the markets right now, punters will find that Egypt are considered to be the outright favourites to win the competition but they certainly don’t seem like a foregone conclusion if their price is anything to gauge. As it currently stands, you’ll find Egypt available around a 4/1 listing with a relative number of top European bookmakers.

Egypt have been an African footballing powerhouse for quite some time now and there is plenty to like about their chances. They boast one of the most in-form strikers in the world in Mohammed Salah - fresh off an outstanding season for Liverpool.

Nigeria, a perennial powerhouse, loom as the second favourite here and you’ll find them trading around a 6/1 price tag with a number of top bookmakers. Senegal are available at an identical price and you could easily see either of those two clubs making it to the final, at least.

Algeria are the fourth favourite and they loom at a very interesting price of around 8/1 to lift the trophy and are definitely an interesting outside bet.
