The African Cup of Nations is underway and football fans are witnessing surprising results. The number of players playing overseas has made the tournament very competitive. Punters can place their bets on the best odds, exclusive ComeOn. The following is a list of teams that could make it to the AFCON finals.
Cameroon

They’ve now bagged five victories in their last five games in all competitions, conceding just 1 goal during that time. In many cases, home teams have clinched the AFCON trophy, and 2022 could be no different with Cameroon in such good form. They have one of the best goalkeepers at the tournament in Andre Onana, making his return to football after being out due to a ban, and a solid striking partnership of Vincent Aboubakar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Morocco

Like Cameroon, they have also gone their last five games across all competitions unbeaten in full time. In many cases, the teams with the most solid defenses triumph in big tournaments like AFCON, and that is what Morocco prides itself on coming into this tournament. Achraf Hakimi is their undeniable star, but they also have the likes of Sofiane Boufal and Romain Saiss on-side, helping to form a well balanced team capable of achieving great things in both attack and defense.
Senegal

Senegal reached the previous AFCON finals and would like to better their previous result with a win this time around. With Sadio Mane leading the charge, it is worth noting that they have also gone without a loss in their last five games across all competitions. Unfortunately, Senegal haven’t started the tournament in brilliant form, with just a single win and a single goal from three games. They’ve been solid in defense with the likes of Idrissa Gueye and Cheikhou Kouyate anchoring the midfield, allowing them to go three matches without conceding a goal. But if they are to win the tournament, they will need to have more firepower up front.
Nigeria
Embed from Getty ImagesThe Super Eagles are looking for their fourth AFCON title, an achievement that could stem their place among an elite list of AFCON winners. They have made a perfect start to the competition, including a win against their toughest opponent in the group in Egypt. With the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Moses Simon, the Nigerian team has many prolific payers who practice their art in some of the most prolific leagues in Europe. We expect their mix of youth and experience and solid 4-2-2-2 shape to help lead their charge toward the title.
Egypt
Embed from Getty ImagesPundits expect the Pharaohs to be one of the teams to beat in the ongoing 2021 AFCON competitions, although they did lose their opening match to Nigeria and their start to life at the tournament has not been as solid as they would have hoped. Mohamed Salah is the undeniable star in the team, but most of the other squad members play in the Egyptian league, rather than leagues around Europe. This could be a hurdle to their charge toward the title, but in Salah, they have the best player at the tournament.

Benjamin Šeško is United’s best striker in years
With four goals in his last five matches, Šeško earned himself the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for February. This, in just 85 minutes of making an impact off the bench. If he can continue to grow from here, the 22-year-old will almost certainly stake his claim as United’s best striker in years.
Michael Carrick has given Manchester United their joy back
At the time of Ruben Amorim’s shock sacking, Manchester United sat sixth in the table. There were signs of hope and progress, but also much in the way of disappointment and misalignment. Since Carrick entered the frame at Old Trafford, the Red Devils have won four in a row, closing the gap on City in…
Why Hugo Ekitiké has worked when so many big money signings have flopped
Every summer, Premier League clubs spend £80m–£100m chasing the next superstar forward. Every season, the league humbles them. But Hugo Ekitiké has been the exception. Ten goals, instant adaptation, and a playing style that personifies Liverpool’s identity. Here is why he’s worked when so many other big-money signings have stalled.
