CAN 2024: SportyTrader's predictions table
We should see a superb tournament, with our great favourite, Côte d'Ivoire, going all the way. There are a few surprises in store, such as Ghana's quarter-final defeat of Morocco and Egypt's elimination by the DRC in the Round of 16. Otherwise, there are three big names in the last four, and we should see a superb final between two teams with superb squads on paper. Can you believe that the host country will be crowned champions? Don't hesitate to take advantage of the great odds on Côte d'Ivoire's success!
Our explanation of the qualifiers
To help you understand the reasoning of our football prediction specialists, here are a few useful explanations. To begin with, here are the main aspects taken into account by our experts to produce this prediction table:
- Public support
- The strength of the nations
- Player form
- Each nation's statistics
- History of encounters
- Previous CAN results
Our first argument is the fan support that the Ivorian team will receive throughout the competition. While this aspect alone is not enough to win a trophy, many players and coaches have already said that a full stadium and the public's encouragement are real motivators for the main players.
The "12th man", as the fans are sometimes called, has a role to play in pushing their team to give their all. And with their supporters, Côte d'Ivoire can go a long way in the tournament. We saw this at the last edition, with Cameroon failing to reach the final after a penalty shoot-out with Egypt, before overcoming Burkina Faso once again on penalties.
In order to draw up this famous provisional table for the 2023 (2024) African Cup of Nations, our experts also took into account and analysed the current squad of each nation, as well as the current form of the players. And they found that Côte d'Ivoire had the best-structured squad in the competition, with a blend of talent and experience in every line. Jean-Louis Gasset has some superb players on hand and, if he can find the right mix, could well bring home the 3rd African Cup of Nations in history after those won in 1992 and 2015.
Other very important aspects, such as the statistics (overall, for each team, for the tournament, etc.), the history of confrontations and the record of each qualified country in previous tournaments have been taken into account, and these are just a few examples among many.
In fact, to bring you the best possible predictions, our experts have spent hours analysing every major piece of information about the 2024 African Cup of Nations. Do you agree with our predictions? Then don't wait any longer to bet on Côte d'Ivoire's success, or the progress of each of the nations. The best bookmakers will all offer very attractive odds!
