Well I honestly believe Cameroon are 2nd favourites to win this CAN now behind the Ivory Coast. If they can win this match then I don’t see any reason why they cant get past Ghana and into the final. Cameroon were awful in their first 45 minuets of the tournament against Egypt but have since been excellent and should be too strong for Tunisia. Group D was a bit of a poor group IMO and none of the teams really impressed me in it. Tunisia were 2nd best against Senegal and were perhaps even fortunate to beat South Africa. The Angola match cant even be considered much because both teams just played ugly to get the draw. I’ve seen enough holes in their defence which Cameroon should exploit. The likes of Samuel Eto’o should be able to hit the net a few times. The Tunisia attack force hasn’t really impressive me much. They have some decent moments of skill and pace but not enough substantially. I honestly think there is quite a bit of difference between these 2 teams and Cameroon should end up getting the win. Just in case the match is tighter than expected, its probably best to play the -0.25 AH line, but I think bookies have them overpriced here.



As for Egypt - Angola

I actually fancy a draw in this one. Egypt now need to show the form they did against Cameroon, since then they haven't been good enough. Angola I still don't rate much, but luck seems to be with them in this tournament. There's always a surprise somewhere and this could be it IMO. But still I dont have the balls to back them because technically Egypt are better. Angola also had problem sagainst SA and Tunisia, both of whom had some decent skill and pace. Egypt are similar (and better) so maybe they will struggle again?
There is no reason to suggest why Egypt won't show there form in this one, they have had a good tournament after the Cameroon win taking care of poor Sudan and "settling" for a draw in the Zambia game to get thru while resting players. So far so good for Egypt and they should win today, Egypt should give Angola problems with there skill and Egypt will be the best team Angola have played so far by a pretty comfortable margain. I expect Egypt's class to show here as this is obviously a must win game.

PICK EGYPT -0.5
Correct Score EGYPT 2-0

GL TO ALL
