Egypt can provide value against Nigeria




(First Published: Tuesday 12th January 2010 at 14:30hrs GMT)





Some strange results mean the African Cup of Nations could well be an event to avoid for punters.

Ivory Coast look head and shoulders above most of their rivals on paper but they struggled to a 0-0 draw with the might of Burkina Faso on Monday.

Didier Drogba should have had a field day but looked disinterested, while his Chelsea team-mate Salomon Kalou only managed to get on the pitch late in the game.

Hosts Angola chucked away a 4-0 lead against Mali in the last 11 minutes while fancied Algeria, who are in England's World Cup group, were pathetic in their 3-0 hiding by Malawi.

Fabio Capello will not be worried by the Algerians on that evidence.

However, Egypt v Nigeria brings us two top-line teams and a fascinating contest to get us through Tuesday afternoon.

The Pharoahs are a tempting 21/10 with William Hill, with Nigeria at a best-priced 6/4.

There are rumours of unrest in the Nigerian camp but this is par for the course for the Super Eagles. It's no surprise Kanu is said to be the centre of a dispute with his coach.

 This shouldn't be used as a pointer to get behind Egypt.

Instead, our reasoning is they traditionally do well in this competition and Hassan Shehata is a hard task-master of a coach who will have his team up for the clash.

Amr Zaki and Mohamed Aboutrika are big misses through injury but Egypt could be the value here with some over-rating Nigeria due to the fact that a number of their players are better known.
