One for the opener.
3pts Guinea +1AH vs Ghana 1.78 Ladbrokes
It's always dangerous to take on the hosts in this tournament but it's the opening game of the event and with both having easier matches to come on paper, this could well end as a stalemate. For this bet to lose Ghana have to win by 2 goals but without Stephen Appiah's creativity and the lack of a real quality striker I'm struggling to see where Ghana are going to score goals from. Guinea will rely on Pascal Feindouno's creativity and goals while Dynamo Kiev's Ismael Bangoura looks the class striker in the game. He's already netted against Man Utd this season so should be full of confidence. I don't think it'll be an open game and a draw really wouldn't surprise me. Guinea have the personnel to win though and with a 1 goal defeat getting us our money back I'll take the visitors on the AH.
