As the AFCON group stage nears its conclusion this mid-week, many of Africa’s top teams are eager to secure their places in the knockout rounds.
Alongside the current champions Ivory Coast, teams like Cameroon and Algeria will take the spotlight on Wednesday.
For those seeking to capture the final thrill of 2025, here are some enticing AFCON betting insights for Wednesday.
16:00 Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria
Two years prior, Algeria faced a crisis after failing to qualify for the AFCON, but they have made an impressive comeback following a challenging experience in Morocco. Now regarded as potential dark horses, they aim for the title in the coming weeks while preparing for next summer’s World Cup in North America. Having kicked off their AFCON run with a solid 3-0 victory against Sudan, the Greens have emerged victorious in their first two Group E matches, eager to officially qualify for the knockout stage. They’ve won four out of their last five games across all competitions and remarkably have not lost in their last 18 matches played within regulation time.
On the other hand, Equatorial Guinea hasn’t fared well since their return to the AFCON, suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Sudan that left them at the bottom of Group E without any points. After a lackluster start marked by a 2-1 loss to Burkina Faso, they remained aware of the significant challenge waiting for them on Wednesday. Preceding the tournament, they secured only one win—a 2-0 victory over Madagascar—since March, and in over 300 minutes of play, they’ve managed just a single point, showing difficulties in the final third.
Betting tip for Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria: Riyad Mahrez, 7/4 for over 1.5 shots on target at Privet.
19:00 Mozambique vs Cameroon
The Indomitable Lions entered AFCON amidst considerable pressure, having seen their World Cup aspirations dashed by a notable 1-0 loss to the Democratic Republic of Congo last month. However, Cameroon picked up four points from their first two Group F matches, starting with a narrow 1-0 win against Gabon. Determined to make a statement in Agadir, they will look to find a stronger advantage in attack. Despite a lack of goals recently, having failed to score more than once in five of their last six matches, they are aiming to secure a decisive victory.
Cameroon will begin their encounter against Mozambique, a team that recently created a memorable upset with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Gabon—marking their first-ever AFCON win. But Mozambique, who began their tournament with a 1-0 defeat against the reigning champions Ivory Coast, should be wary of their dismal record against Cameroon. The last matchup saw Mozambique lose 1-0 in October 2021, bringing their record against the five-time AFCON champions to four losses, conceding a total of 10 goals while netting only 2. Facing intense pressure in Agadir, Conde’s side will need a turnaround to stay competitive.
