The tournament has now reached the quarter-final stage. Looking at the results since 1996, with the exception of one year (2002), the four matches have always produced at least one match that has gone to extra-time.
In fact there is evidence that in recent years the matches have become more competitive. In the last tournament (2010) three of the four matches went to extra-time. At the last three tournaments (2010, 2008 and 2006) six of the 12 quarter-final affairs have finished all square after 90 minutes.
I have therefore placed the following bets today:
4 February
Zambia v Sudan 6 pts @ 5/2 draw with skybet
Ivory Coast v E. Guinea 4 pts @ 7/2 draw with W Hill
5 February
Gabon v Mali 5.5 pts @ 12/5 draw with skybet
Ghana v Tunisia 5.5 pts @ 12/5 draw with skybet
One draw will result in a maximum loss of three points. Two draws will put us in the money with a minimum profit of 15.7 pts.
Total staked 21 points.
