MOZAMBIQUE VS BENIN AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS TIPS
Benin are the favourites to get the win over Mozambique with popular bookmaker 888sport listing them at 13/10 for the outright win with Mozambique trading at a 7/4 price. You'll find the draw listed at 11/5. This match lacks superstar names, but I think it will be played at a solid pace with both teams thinking they can get the victory.
Tico-Tico, boasting over 100 caps for his country, is expected to lead the charge for the Mozambicans and 888 has him priced at 13/2 to score first or last and 7/4 to get on the score-sheet at any time. Dario is well priced to score for his country as well with a 2/1 price anytime. Heider Pelembe can be backed at 12/5 while the awesomely-named Whiskey (who looks to be a defender) can be backed at 14/1. He's worth a bet based on the name alone.
For Benin, Razak Omotoyossi is the favoured goalscorer at 11/8 with Mickael Pote trading at 7/4 anytime while Mohamed Aoudou is listed at 2/1.
The favoured correct score outcome is a 1-1 draw at 11/2 with a 0-0 result not being out of the question at 13/2. That's the same price as a 1-0 win for Mozambique while 1-0 to Benin is just a slight bit shorter at 6/1. I wouldn't advise betting on a particularly high-scoring game, but it could turn into that if the conditions are right.
Mozambique are 4/1 to win both halves while draw/Mozambique is listed at a lengthy 11/2. Benin/Benin is the short-priced option at 11/4.
If you do think a big total will get put up, check out the hat-trick market. Tico-Tico trades at 80/1 while Omotoyossi is favoured at 50/1.
I think this one could be a 1-1 draw or a 0-0 draw, but if one player steps up in a big way it could make all the difference. A penalty being scored is a very realistic possibility.
