Africa Cup of Nations: Tuesday betting previews, match tips & TV details

Eurosport, from 5pm Monday

Mauritania v Tunisia

Eurosport 2, 8pm

It is all to play for in Group E at the Africa Cup of Nations and Tunisia can book their place in the knockout phase by claiming their first win of the tournament against Mauritania.

A lack of end product has held back the Eagles of Carthage, who have drawn their first two matches against Angola and Mali, but Mauritania's permeable defence presents them with the chance for three points.

They shipped four goals to Mali and three to Benin in recent matches and, although the unrelenting heat of Suez points to another low-scoring affair, Tunisia should have enough to come out on top.

Recommendation
Tunisia to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt Evens Betway

Key stat
Tunisia have scored in six of their last seven matches.

Angola v Mali

Eurosport 1, 8pm

Mali are in pole position to progress to the last 16 as group winners and they could be looking to their potent Porto forward to make the difference.

Moussa Marega scored 17 goals for the Portuguese club last season and converted a penalty in Mali's opener against Mauritania.

His pace and physicality could prove too much for a feeble Angola defence and he looks a value bet to break the deadlock.

Recommendation
M Marega to score first
1pt 5-1 bet365

Key stat
Mali have scored in each of their last eight matches.

Guinea-Bissau v Ghana

Eurosport 2, 5pm

Guinea-Bissau are yet to get on the scoresheet at the Africa Cup of Nations and their campaign could come to an end against a talented Ghana group.

The Black Stars are well in contention for a last-16 berth but their tally of two points is arguably an unfair reflection on their performances.

They conceded the lead against Benin after being reduced to ten men and won the shot count 15-8 in their stalemate with Cameroon. With a front four comprising Jordan and Andre Ayew, Christian Atsu and Kwadkwo Asamoah, they can chalk up a comfortable win.

Recommendation
Ghana -1 goal on handicap
1pt 7-5 Betfair, Betway, Paddy Power

Key stat
Ghana have won only one of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

Benin v Cameroon

Eurosport 1, 5pm

Cameroon have one win and one draw to their name in the Africa Cup of Nations and they could conclude the group stage with a shock loss to Benin.

Michel Dussuyer's men could thrive as underdogs against Cameroon, having deserved better than draws against Ghana and Guinea-Bissau after winning the shot count and edging possession in both matches.

Recommendation
Benin
1pt 4-1 general

Key stat
Benin are unbeaten in their last five matches.
