Under 2.5 @ 1/2 (1.50)
A low scoreline is a probable outcome in this fixture. This is the first AFCON fixture for both sides and so, a tense game is expected in the capital, Yaoundé. Cape Verde has not lost in the last four matches while Ethiopia has back to back draws of 1-1 before this match. Both sides haven’t been scoring lots of goals, so a low scoreline is what we expect on matchday.
Cape Verde to win @ 89/100 (1.89)
Cape Verde is our pick to win this game. They have the experience at this level and ranked better by FIFA than Ethiopia.
