AFCON betting tips and predictions

Betting on AFCON

Check which competition Nigeria are playing in. A friendly does not count towards AFCON qualification, even when it falls in the same international window.

A team-to-win bet covers one match. An outright winner bet covers the tournament, so the price and settlement are different.

AFCON betting markets

Match result

Back the home win, draw or away win. Standard 1X2 bets settle after 90 minutes plus added time, without extra time.

Over/Under 2.5

Over 2.5 needs at least three goals. Under 2.5 wins with two goals or fewer.

BTTS

Both sides must score for BTTS Yes to win. A 1-0 result loses; 1-1 wins.

Before placing a bet

1. Use the announced squad and confirmed team news for player bets. Do not carry a previous call-up into a new fixture.
2. For a knockout match, distinguish the 90-minute result from the team-to-qualify market.
