Ivory Coast and Guinea quarter-final clash

Ivory Coast – Guinea is the second quarter-finals scheduled to be played today at the African Cup of Nations the 2008 edition. It will be a meeting between the winners of the Group B, Ivory Coast, the biggest favorites to win the tournament, and Guinea, the pleasant surprise of the Group A.

Now let me share you my betting tips for this encounter. In my opinion Guinea’s fairy tail story experience at the CAN 2008 will end tonight. Don’t take this personally, I admire the Guinea’s team for their game and for reaching this quarter-finals stage, but the Ivory Coast are a hat that is to big for them. I have almost no doubt that Didier Drogba and his team-mates will win this game and qualify for the quarter-finals. Good luck to everyone if you decide to bet on this event!

1 – 0 Abdulkader Keita scores a clever goal with a shot from a narrow angle. Guinea’s goalkeeper is tricked, as he expects a cross.

The Ivory Coast qualify as expected to the quarter-finals after a comfortable win over Guinea. If you look at the scoreboard you might think that there was a humilation. This is not far from the truth although Ivory Coast’s last 4 goals came in the last 20 minutes. Keita opened the score in the 25th minute and this was also the halftime score.
