BURKINA FASO VS GHANA 2010 AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS LATEST TIPS
We have a massive fixture ahead of us that will ultimately determine which team goes on to face high-flying Egypt in the knock-out phase of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. Burkina Faso stand on the verge of being the biggest surprise in a tournament that has served up plenty of unpredictability. Even Group C is going to go down to the final day to determine whether Cameroon or Tunisia go through to the latter stages.
William Hill has priced Burkina Faso at an enticing 4/1 for a victory while the draw trades at 13/5. Ghana are the 8/15 odds-on favourite and they will need to play with some considered style, knowing that if Burkina Faso can score a quick goal that they'll shift to an ultra-defensive formation and attempt to stifle and slow the match down. Ghana will likely lose if they have to chase the result, if they can get the first goal I think they could stroll to victory. The first goal is absolutely crucial here.
William Hill have listed Ghana at 1/2 to score first while Burkina Faso are listed at 19/10. No goal pays out at 8/1.
Goalscorer beting places Matthew Amoah as the favourite to score with a 9/2 price first or last and a 6/5 price anytime. Asamoah Gyan trades alongside Dominic Adiyiah at 5/1 first or last and 5/4 anytime. For Burkina Faso, they'll be looking to Moumouni Dagano at 15/2 first or last and a lengthy 9/4 to score anytime. Youssouf Kone trades at 8/1 first or last and 11/4 anytime.
In terms of the handicap betting, Burkina Faso (-1.0) trades at 12/1 while Ghana (-2.0) pays a lengthy 11/2. They'll need to score to get through to the next round and 2 goals can become 3 goals quicker than 1 goal can become 2, if you get my drift. I think that's a nice selection for Ghana fans.
My recommendation for Burkina Faso fans is to back them at 11/4 on the draw no bet.
