GHANA VS EGYPT 2010 AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS FINAL LAST MINUTE ODDS PREVIEW
We're just a few minutes away from kick-off and Egypt's odds to win the 2010 African Cup of Nations have drifted in the past few hours with the team no longer listed at an odds-on price and instead paying out at even money. The fluctuation isn't particularly significant, but it could be a result of bookmakers experiencing heavy volume on Ghana, as value-savvy punters from all over the world heap bets on the Black Stars.
Ghana themselves are now trading at a 14/5 outright price with the draw paying 21/10. Keep in mind that those are just the 90 minute prices. In terms of outright qualification, however, you'll find Egypt trading at 1/2 while Ghana are listed at 6/4. This market includes extra time and penalties.
Egypt can be backed on a (-1.0) handicap and they pay a massive 3/1. That's great value, as I think if Egypt are going to win, they're going to win by at least two goals. Once they have the match won in the 80th minute or so, they have a tendency to keep the pressure on and keep scoring goals. A 2-0 win can become a 4-0 win very quickly when playing against Egypt. Algeria found that one out in the last fixture.
In terms of the correct score betting, the slimmest price is 1-0 Egypt at 5/1 with 2-0 to the Pharaohs paying 7/1, the same price as a 2-1 victory. The 1-1 draw pays 11/2 while a 1-0 result to Ghana pays 15/2. A 2-1 victory to the Black Stars pays a solid 12/1.
The anytime goalscorer prices for Ghana revolve around Asamoah Gyan, who trades at 9/4. And then you have Dominic Adiyiah, Matthew Amoah and Agyeman Opoku all at 12/5. Ransford Osei trades at a slim 3/1. For the Egyptians, they have Mohamed Zidan and Emad Motaeb at 11/8 while Mohamed Gedo is listed at 13/8. El Sayyed Hamdy and Ahmed Raouf trade at 7/4.
This should be a cracker of a match, so be sure to stay tuned to the live betting at 888sports to pack even more excitement into your day.
