African Cup of Nations - Ghana vs Cameroon Football betting preview

7 February 2008
Tipster From Poland Knickerbocker from Poland writes on Football Betting Preview Football International African Cup of Nations
Ghana vs Cameroon
I am really surprised by the odds offered by bet365. Cameroon’s win at 4.20?! This is HUGE. I would expect nothing more than 3. I don’t really know why these odds are so big. I know Ghana are host and this competition somehow makes a home team one of the favorites to win the trophy and I know that Cameroon have played 120 minutes yesterday but with these odds I have to back Cameroon. Ghana are playing well but I believe Cameroon to be just a little better and I think that should be the difference on Thursday. I am not too bothered by the fact that Cameroon have less than 72 hours to rest before the game. These players are used to playing every 3-4 days and this is the game that can send them to the final…So I expect a fully concentrated Cameroon side that will fight for all 90 minutes against the hosts. It should be a tight game, but having watched both teams in this tournament I believe Cameroon are worth backing here. Ghana will be without Mensah as he has been sent off in the game against Nigeria but still will field a quality team lead by Essien. On the other side Cameroon with Eto’o and Kameni in goal who’s having a very good tournament so far and can save Cameroon with some fantastic saves when they’re in trouble. So I expect a great game won by Cameroon in 90 minutes.

Good luck:)

Cameroon is playing very bad,thay dont have good tactics.Leading 2-0 against Tunis and at the end 2-2.And this is Ghana much better team,playing at home with great midfielders such as Muntari ,Essien...whicch will control the game from start.

I think is a good tip , but your going against hosts If Im not wrong last three winners of African Cup were host countries ( last year Egypt ) .. I see Egypt - Cameroon the final , it is a high posibilly for draw on both games .. Odds of course are ot real , to give 5.0 to Egypt and 4.20 to Cameroon ...hmmm , bookies are making a big mistake , for Ivory Coast it is the first real test ( Im not imoressed by theyr play ) , they beat pooooor Nigeria , then I cannot remember other teams they beat because both are fron the 3rd World ... Egypt had much stronger opponents , Cameroon and Angola , so for me X,2 in that game is value ... I think both will end in draw , extra time and why not penalties ... If I find x,2 on this game @ 2.0 and the same for the other one it will be perfect for me . Bet x,2 but not straight win on Cameroon

I can't believe you guys can be naive. Cameroon looked tired against Tunisia that is the reason they lost their lead. They were there for the taking and how old is Rigobert Song!!! There is not way they will drop him no matter how tired he is and after 120 hard minutes after looking tired against Tunisia they have to play the home nation. The crowd alone will drain their energy and Ghana will be buzzing at the prospect of a final which will kepp them going for the whole 90 minutes.

I believe Cameroon will lose.
Cameroon plays very weak when under pressure, I've seen it in matches before.
They are under pressure in beginning while Ghana is in their own stadium.
Do not bet on Cameroon, I'm positive we will get a 3-1 result for Ghana

Well, definitely both Ghana & Cote d'Ivoire are the favourites. But then again odds on both games are too much on the underdog. Small stakes on an upset in both matches (hoping that either would happen) seems reasonable to me.

However, I -myself- won't be betting on anythig today.

Hope Egypt can do it though

Thanks for all your comments:) I agree that Cameroon is having some gaps in their tactics, the best example of it in their last game, being 2:1 up in the second half they didn't even try to attack and kill the game off. However I don't agree they were tired after 60 minutes because immediately after conceding the second goal they started playing forward. Considering the issue of tiredness it may be the factor but only because they had to play extra-time on Monday and not because they aren't well prepared. Ghana might be bookie's favourites in this one but they aren't mine. Ghana have impressed me only against Morocco and the odds on Cameroon are too tempting. If the game was to be played in Cameroon I think the odds would be just the opposite. That's why I'm backing Cameroon. As far as the Egypt game is concerned, again the odds on Egypt way too big in my opinion but I wouldn't bet on them winning it in 90 minutes, however I fully agree they have the chances to go through to the final. A very interesting games to watch today evening. Good luck to you all, whichever way you place your bets:)

If you dont think cameroon were tired then watch them in this game. Even us the bet in running service and take Ghana to score the next goal in the second half. Reports from Africa, Essien (Ghana): We are going to win this, Job (Cameroon)this is going to be tough.

A good game by Cameroon. They didn't give much space to Ghana, were fighting for every ball. What's more important no signs of tiredness, the best example was Eto'o running at full speed to get the ball in the 90th minute. And the most important they have scored on the single chance they have really created:) R.Song & A.Song played very well and as I have written Kameni in goal - he has relly done an excellent job keeping Agogo's shot out, it would have been a quick equaliser. A very nice profit for today as I'm staying away from the other game.
