Cote d’Ivoire corners pick and Lautaro Martinez goal among last week’s winning bets

Last week’s football betting review focused on matches in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, alongside a selection of international friendlies. Three recommendations delivered successful outcomes, including a 2.80-priced half-time scoreline in Cote d’Ivoire’s meeting with Cameroon.

Somalia 0-2 Cote d’Ivoire

Bet: Total corners – under 9.5 Odds: 2.27

Cote d’Ivoire began their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign under Herve Renard with a second-round tie against Somalia.

The Ivorians eventually secured a 2-0 victory, with Yann Gboho and Bazoumana Toure scoring late in the match.

Nasser Eddy’s prediction also covered the number of corners, with a maximum of nine advised in addition to the Cote d’Ivoire win, which was priced at 1.00.

The match produced exactly nine corners. All of them were awarded to Cote d’Ivoire, meaning the under-9.5 selection proved successful.

Cote d’Ivoire 0-1 Cameroon

Bet: Half-time correct score – 0-0 Odds: 2.8

Several days later, Cote d’Ivoire hosted Cameroon in a friendly.

The Indomitable Lions claimed a 1-0 away victory, with Bil Nsongoa scoring the only goal shortly after the interval.

There had been no breakthrough before half-time, however, and the teams went into the break level at 0-0.

That half-time score was available at odds of 2.8. Those who followed Arthur Wandji’s recommendation increased their stakes considerably after the first 45 minutes ended without a goal.

Argentina 7-0 Burkina Faso

Bet: Lautaro Martinez to score Odds: 1.49

Argentina then recorded the biggest result of the week, beating Burkina Faso 7-0 in Buenos Aires overnight from Saturday into Sunday.

Lionel Scaloni’s side dominated the match and swept aside the Etalons in a one-sided contest.

Mahamad Sangare had backed an Argentina victory and also predicted that Lautaro Martinez would score.

The Inter Milan captain delivered almost immediately, opening the scoring in the fourth minute to complete the goalscorer selection.
