Bookmakers quote Cameroon and Senegal as African Cup favorites, but the Five Thirty Eight model bets on Nigeria

Egypt and Salah are not very impressive yet.

Before the start of the African Cup of Nations, the bookmakers quoted the teams of Algeria, Egypt and Senegal as the favorites of the tournament, for the victory of which a coefficient of 7 was given.

Cameroon and Senegal are now tied for first place in the top contenders list, with bookmakers giving odds of 6 to win.

However, the Five Thirty Eight model gives the highest probability to the Nigerian Championship (18.9%), which can be bet with odds of 7. The top three favorites for this model also include Morocco (14.1%) and Senegal (13.4%).

Cameroon is only ninth in the Five Thirty Eight model with a 3.6% chance of winning.
