TUNISIA VS ZAMBIA AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS 2010 ODDS AND TIPS
Tunisia are the odds-on favourites to win their first outing of the 2010 African Cup of Nations against Zambia. 888sports has listed them at 4/5 with Zambia available at a competitive 3/1. The draw trades at 23/10.
I think this one could really come down to who scores first. I think Tunisia would prefer to avoid chasing the game and may push forward in numbers early in the match and try to notch the early goal. They are 4/7 to score first and 9/1 to be up 2-0 at half-time.
Zambia will be looking to their three stars Collins Mbesuma, Given Singuluma and James Chamanga who are all available at 12/5 to score anytime. Emmanuel Mayuka is 3/1 and that's not a bad bet, in my opinion.
Tunisia's favourite to score is Isaam Jemaa and he's listed at 11/8. Ahmed Akiachi, Youssef M'Sakni and Ousamma Darragi are all listed at 2/1 to score anytime.

Zambia are 8/13 to score and should both teams get on the scoresheet you're looking at 10/11. Tunisia are a slim 2/9 to score while scoreless draw trades at 13/2.
If you're looking for some solid odds, try a scorecast. I have Collins Mbesuma/Tunisia 2-1 at a lengthy 95/1. Isaam Jemaa/Tunisia 2-1 pays out at a more down to earth 35/1.
I think the match is Tunisia's to lose, but I think the draw may be a popular in-play option if Zambia come out and give it everything they've got.
