Ghana straight win @ 2.0 Bluesquare 3/10
None of these 2 teams have actually impressed me too much during this competition so far, but I think one feels that Ghana should have the edge here. With home advantage being so important they have used the backing of the crowd to see them through important games and they looked alright to me against Morocco. They still lack a striker who can get goals, but I feel they have enough threat, especially in midfield. Nigeria have for me been the biggest flops of this CAN so far and I cant see how they can win it. Id say they are very lucky to be in the quarter finals because they have been far form their best. The team hasn’t gelled properly and clearly coach Bertie Vogts is under a lot of pressure. I don’t think that many goals will be scored in this game and that Ghana will win by something like a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline. The hosts should have just enough strength to see them over the finishing line.
Ivory Coast -1AH @ 1.70 Pinnacle 7/10
This is the team that has looked the best in the tournament so far and I think they should be able to have a fairly easy ride today. Guinea didn’t really impress too much in their group, the big win being against Morocco, but that was really close. Of course the key man is Pascal Feindouno but he’s suspended for this clash. Without him they will lack a major weapon and his skill might’ve given them some sort of chance today. The Ivory Coast are a quality side and have been convincing in all of their games so far. Its difficult to see Guinea being difficult opponents for them. Even if they were to run up against a solid formation, the Ivories have some many attacking options that they would surely break through eventuality. This is the CAN, where tight wins have traditionally happened so the best line to take is the -1, but in all reality I can see this game ending something like 2-0 or 3-0.
