Africa Cup of Nations betting preview, tips & TV details

Eurosport, from 5pm Monday

Kenya v Senegal

Eurosport 1, 8pm

Senegal's seven-match winning sequence came to an end with a 1-0 loss to Algeria last time out but they should bounce back against Kenya to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stage in style.

The Lions of Teranga possess excellent quality in the wide positions with Liverpool's Champions League winner Sadio Mane and Keita Balde, while defensively they are solid with Napoli's outstanding Kalidou Koulibaly holding the side together.

Kenya were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Algeria and the fact they needed a late goal to see off Tanzania suggests Senegal should land a comfortably victory.

Recommendation
Senegal -1 on Asian handicap
2pts 31-40 bet365

Key stat
Senegal have conceded only two goals in their last eight matches.

Tanzania v Algeria

Eurosport 2, 8pm

Algeria don't need to win to secure top spot but they can make it a perfect group stage by beating minnows Tanzania.

There will be a temptation for Algeria to rest a few players, although it should not really matter against opponents ranked 131st in the world. Tanzania lost the shots-on-target count 10-0 against Senegal and could once again struggle in the final third.

Recommendation
Algeria to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt 4-5 Betway, BoyleSports

Key stat
Five of Algeria's last six matches have featured under 2.5 goals.

Namibia v Ivory Coast

Eurosport 1, 5pm

Ivory Coast are known for being chokers when the pressure is turned up and the heat is on following Friday's 1-0 loss to Morocco, a game which saw captain Serge Aurier sustain an injury.

It's just as well for the Elephants that they are taking on a powder-puff Namibia side. The outsiders have been out of their depth but are sound enough defensively not to be hammered.

Recommendation
Ivory Coast & under 3.5 goals
1pt 8-11 general

Key stat
Namibia have had only one shot on target at this tournament.

South Africa v Morocco

Eurosport 2, 5pm

Morocco are proving their excellent performances at the World Cup were no fluke and ordinarily odds-against quotes against South Africa would be worth snapping up.

However, a point may prove to be a good result for both sides with Morocco nailing top spot and South Africa probably securing at worst a best third-place slot.

Recommendation
Under 1.5 goals
1pt 6-4 general

Key stat
Every game in Group D has finished 1-0.
