Egypt v Algeria Odds Favour Semi Final Win For Egyptians

Reigning holders and tournament favourites, Egypt take on underdogs, Algeria in the second semi final at the African Nations Cup in Angola this week. The match should have particular interest for England fans as Algeria are one of England’s Group rivals at the forthcoming World Cup in South Africa.

Egypt are priced up at 6/4 with Paddy Power to win their third successive Africa Nations Cup, which would be a tournament record; it would also be their sixth ANC win in their history.

Before all that however, they must overcome an Algerian side who pulled off one of the shocks of the tournament when knocking out the Ivory Coast in a sensational game, after extra time in the quarter finals. Considering Algeria had scored only goal in the tournament up until this match it was quite a remarkable achievement as most plaudits had expected the Ivory Coast to win the tournament outright and certainly to win that match. They now must do it all over again but will find the Egyptians a completely different proposition.

Egypt have won every game that they have played so far in the tournament and are very high on confidence; they are also the tournament’s top scorers with a strike force that includes Mohammed Nagy, who has already scored three times in the four matches played.

As it stands currently, Egypt are 6/5 to win the match, the draw is 11/5 and an Algerian win can be backed at 2/1, but we suggest that punters check out the correct score betting options listed below where better value can be obtained by backing the most likely score, which, for the sake of it, we think will be a 2-0 win for the favourites.
