EGYPT VS MOZAMBIQUE 2010 AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS TIPS
We have Egypt facing off against Mozambique in an important African Cup of Nations group stage match at 18:30 today. The Egyptians pulled off a great result in their last fixture and look like solid winners today according to the odds from the UK bookmakers.
Mozambique pay out at a massive 10.0 for the outright victory here while the Egyptian side are listed at a slim 1.25. The draw pays out at 4.5 but I expect the bulk of the betting volume to be heading in Egypts direction.
The favoured correct score outcome looks like 2-0 to Egypt, which carries a 6.0 price. 2-1 pays out at 9.0 while 3-0 garners a 7.0 price tag. If Mozambique score, your odds go up significantly. That shows just how favoured Egypt really is for this match. Mozambique are 13.0 to notch a 1-0 victory and 50.0 for a shock 2-0 win.
We've seen so many upsets thus far in the tournament so even some of the safest-looking bets can blow up in your face. Egypt could very well go on to lose the match and that wouldn't really surprise me a huge amount considered the way things have been going for some of the other teams in the competition. Being the favourite almost seems like something you want to avoid. Egypt revelled in their role as underdogs in the last fixture.
I expect Egypt's goals to come from Emad Motaeb who trades at 4.0 to score first and Mohammed Zidan who can be backed at 5.0.
Mozambique's Tico Tico is trading at 12.0 to score first.
I actually do think that Mozambique will score in this match. I don't advise on betting on Egypt to win to nil or to keep a clean sheet. I do think they are strong favourites with a bigger goal threat, but Mozambique will give this everything they've got.
