AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Three bets to consider on 13 November

Arthur Wandji, a Cameroonian sports betting expert and journalist, has selected a three-match accumulator from the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying fixtures on 13 November.

Nigeria – Tanzania, 16:00 GMT

Suggested bet: Nigeria to score first (odds: 1.48)

Nigeria welcome Tanzania to Uyo after taking three points from their opening two qualifying matches. The Super Eagles beat Madagascar 2-1 before suffering a 3-0 defeat by Guinea-Bissau.

Ademola Lookman, Alex Iwobi and Akor Adams are among the attacking options available to the hosts. Akor Adams scored Nigeria’s equaliser against Russia in their most recent friendly.

Nigeria will, however, be without the injured Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze, while Frank Onyeka is doubtful. Tanzania began their campaign with a 2-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau and then drew 1-1 with Madagascar.

The hosts have won their past three home matches, while their historical record against Tanzania also gives the Super Eagles an advantage. Those factors support the prospect of Nigeria opening the scoring.

Egypt – Malawi, 19:00 GMT

Suggested bet: Mohamed Salah to score (odds: 1.67)

Egypt face Malawi after an unbeaten start to their qualifying campaign. They drew 0-0 with Angola before recording a convincing 5-0 victory over South Sudan.

Mohamed Salah has returned to the national team and joined the squad, providing Egypt with one of their main attacking threats. Malawi were beaten 3-1 by Angola in their latest match and have failed to win any of their past five away fixtures.

Malawi captain Richard Mbulu had recently been injured but is now available. Egypt’s attacking display against South Sudan, combined with Salah’s return, makes a goal from the Pharaohs’ captain the recommended selection.

Morocco – Niger, 20:00 GMT

Suggested bet: Morocco to win without conceding (odds: 1.34)

Morocco have won both of their opening qualifiers by the same 2-0 scoreline, defeating Gabon and Lesotho without allowing a goal.

Yassine Bounou, Achraf Hakimi and Nayef Aguerd provide defensive strength for the Atlas Lions, while the return of Youssef En-Nesyri adds to Mohamed Ouahbi’s attacking options.

Niger come into the match after a 2-0 defeat by Gabon and have lost three of their past four matches. Morocco will be missing several players, including Azzedine Ounahi, Ismael Saibari and Ayoub El Kaabi.

Despite those absences, Morocco’s defensive record remains a key factor. They have kept three clean sheets in their past four competitive matches, supporting the prediction that they will win without conceding.

Odds may change.
