Can't beat having a bet on big International tournaments and following your chosen team to victory.
The tournament is to be held in Cameroon this time round and starts on January 9th.
For me Senegal look worthy favourites and I think are a great value bet for the outright win at 9/2 on skybet. They have incredible quality in their squad with players like Mendy, Koulibaly and Mane who would be first picks in practically any international squad. While some of the other top sides do have top names in their line-ups The Senegalese have the most depth imo. Squads can be found here
https://www.goal.com/en-ng/lists/afcon-2021-squads-nigeria-ghana-cameroon-and-every-official/blt01d1bf57e179fac7 though some are a bit out of date with injury and covid call offs, Nigeria seem to have been hit particularly hard with the phenomenal Victor Oshimen and on fire Watford man Emmanuel Dennis among their call offs. I would have had them down as contenders but not now. Algeria look strong, Egypt have Salah, Ivory Coast and Ghana have strong squads as always and Cameroon will fancy their chances as hosts. North African nations have a great record in this and I've seen Tunisia tipped up as an upcoming young squad and Morocco have a good squad and are maybe a bit overpriced at 10s. While they may not have a star man of the quality of Salah of Mahrez their squad for me is still as good if not better than the much shorter priced teams of Egypt and Algeria.
Come on the 🇸🇳 Senegal 🇸🇳 let's get first big bet up of 2022 🤞

Tend to agree as to Senegal, that's some squad they have, assuming they all turn up.
As Host nation, Cameroon must have a bi chance too.
Not exactly insightful, but those would be my 2 against the field, & at those prices (EW, half odds 2 places) we can back both EW.
