Match previews and betting angles
DR Congo vs Benin (12:30 GMT)
DR Congo arrive off the back of a morale-boosting playoff campaign and will look to convert that momentum into three points. Benin remain in search of their first CAN win and could be vulnerable to a DR Congo side that plays with pace through midfield. Expect a competitive, tactical opening; DR Congo look slightly stronger on paper. Betting angle: consider DR Congo draw/no bet or a narrow 1-0/2-1 win for DR Congo.
Nigeria vs Tanzania (17:30 GMT)
Nigeria, the Super Eagles, enter as heavy favourites against Tanzania’s Taifa Stars. Nigeria’s squad depth and attacking options should dictate the game, with the Super Eagles expected to dominate possession and create scoring chances. Tanzania will be organised defensively but may struggle to keep up for 90 minutes. Betting angle: back Nigeria on the 1X2 market or Nigeria -1 handicap for better value.
Senegal vs Botswana (Evening)
Senegal, holders from 2021 and led by experienced stars, are overwhelming favourites against a Botswana side making only their second CAN appearance. Expect Senegal to press high and control the tempo; Botswana will look to frustrate but will be under huge pressure. Betting angle: favour a Senegal win and consider goalscorer markets for Senegal’s front line rather than long-odds accumulators.
Tunisia vs Uganda (Evening)
Tunisia arrive with intent and home-continent confidence as they aim to secure three points and build tournament momentum. Uganda will pose physical threats on transitions but may lack the tactical cohesion to contain Tunisia’s combinations. Betting angle: Tunisia to win — a -0.5 handicap or both teams to score could offer balanced returns.
What punters should note
This Tuesday’s CAN 2025 slate leans toward established powers — Senegal and Nigeria — as low-risk selections. DR Congo vs Benin is the outlier for a closer betting market; caution is advised when constructing accumulators. Monitor team news and late injury updates before staking.
