AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS-IVORY COAST TO WIN 1ST HALF @ 1.93

Semi Final of the Africa Cup of Nations, Ivory Coast are the red hot favourites here and they can be taken at odds of 1.50 to win the tie. I have elected for them to win the 1st Half @ 1.93.

Ivory Coast have not conceded a goal during the tournament and have been successful to date because of their solidity at the back as much as their attacking flair, the latter of which has not been particularly on display until Drogba's virtuoso performance in the 3-0 win over Equatorial Guinea. In each of their past 4 wins, they have neither conceded a goal and taken the lead in the 1st half-39mins v Sudan, 16mins Burkina Faso, 33mins Angola and 36mins v EquitG.

Mali played their quarter final a day later and the match went the full duration to penalities. The players have less rest and may also be initially overawed by the occasion of a semi final. I think that Ivory Coast will take advantage of this and take an early lead.

Also Mali, in their past two games in this competition have come from behind and scored in the 2nd half which suggests they are slow starters.

The odds here are not much less than the HT/FT odds with obviously less risk.
