My original thoughts were draws in both games tonight, 0-0 with Egypt and 1-1 with Tunisia. It happens often in the knock out stage, not just in this Cup. Second, in both games both Tunisia and Angola are slightly underestimated and especially Tunisia should improve defensively by trying to keep it real tight against Eto'o and Co. Eto'o is lethal when good providing is available and if Tunisia go out with that in mind his efficiency might be low. Angola proved to be good in defence and dangerous on breaks. Both games therefore are more likely to go Under, but as I do not bet on Unders a better bet to me looks Tunisia + 0,5 at 1,84 and Angola +0,5 at 2,05. On the other hand draws being 3,25 and 3,40 are more tempting - if only one comes out, a certain profit is home.
Don't want to risk much cash here tonight, so will place my bets just before the first game, hopefully more people will give opinions.
