IVORY COAST VS GHANA 2010 AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS TIPS

We have the biggest match of the tournament set to go today with two African footballing powerhouses both looking for a much-needed victory at the other sides expense. Top-notch striker Didier Drogba is expected to lead his countrymen out against Michael Essien's well-organized Ghana side. This one has the potential to be an incredible fixture and I expect a huge amount of interest in the match and a large betting volume. 
Currently, 888sports views Ivory Coast as the favourite and they are trading at even money at the moment. Ghana is priced at 14/5 and that's fairly significant value on a team that definitely can beat Ivory Coast on their day. The draw is priced at 23/10, but I think both teams will be playing for the win here. 
If you think Ivory Coast will win by a fair margin, then you should check out the Ivory Coast (-1.0) handicap bet at 13/5. Ghana (+1.0) is 8/11 and that's not quite as much value as I'd like, considering they are 14/5 to win outright. That's too much of a drop in price for a single goal. 
In terms of the correct score betting, you're looking at the slimmest margin being 1-0 to Cote D'Ivoire which pays out at 5/1. A 1-1 draw is listed at 11/2 while 2-0 pays out at 7/1. A 2-1 victory to Cote D'Ivoire pays 15/2 while the same margin in Ghana's favour is a solid 12/1. Ghana to win 1-0 pays 8/1.
The Ivory Coast are 13/5 to score in both halves and 9/2 to win both halves. They are 8/1 to win having been behind (that's a solid bet if this is an open game) and 6/5 to record a clean sheet. They are 9/4 to win to nil. 
Ghana are 9/2 to score in both halves, 14/1 to win both halves, 4/1 to score first and fail to win (not a bad bet) 14/1 to win having been behind, 5/2 to keep a clean sheet and 11/2 to win to nil. 
Didier Drogba is the favoured goalscorer at 11/10 while Aruna Dindane trades at 13/8 anytime for the Ivory Coast. Salomon Kalou trades at the same price, as does Gervinho. Yaya Toure is 5/1 to score anytime. 
For Ghana, Asamoah Gyan is listed at 2/1 while Matthew Amoah and Dominic Adiyiah are both trading at 9/4. 
I think this match is wide open, but the value is clearly on Ghana. I think Ivory Coast should win, but they will need their best performance in quite some time to get over a Ghana side that I expect to be very frustrating.
