IVORY COAST TO WIN THE -1 HANDICAP AT 2.5

The bet assumes the match is played with Mali a goal up. Therefore, for Ivory Coast to win the bet they must win the match by a 2-goal margin or more. It corresponds to a -1.5 Asian Handicap bet.

Who can stop the charging Elephants? Four matches played, and scores of 1-0, 2-0, 2-0 and 3-0 show that the momentum is building. Drogba is enjoying his African trip, and now Ivory Coast travel to Libreville to take on the conquerors of Gabon. Mali rode their luck in the QF, conceding once but having the woodwork to thank for keeping the ball out on two further occasions. If Mali defend like that in this game, Ivory Coast could run up a big score.

You would be happy to put faith in the Ivory Coast defence - Mali have only scored four times in four games and two of those were against Botswana. Tellingly, when Mali played Ghana in the group stage, Ghana won 2-0 without much fuss. Barcelona midfield Keita will be pleased to reach the semi-Finals with Mali, but having beaten Gabon with so little of the play (they won 5-4 on penalties) he will be aware of their weaknesses against such a powerful side as Ivory Coast.

Odds of 6/4 are more than fair for this bet, and I wholeheartedly commend it to the BE community.

Ivory Coast -1 goal to beat Mali.
