Backing the host nation here as all credible indicators point that way
Senegal, Egypt, Algeria and possibly DR Congo are the other serious challengers with Ivory Coast as a dark horse
That’s my prediction so none of it will come to pass
- Home advantage
- 18 match winning streak
- Most AFCON tournaments are won by the host nation
- Hosts are the number 1 ranked team in Africa
- I googled last home defeat for the hosts to an African side (not even a competitive game) any defeat and google or Co pilot couldn’t tell me it’s been so long

That’s my prediction so none of it will come to pass
Not sure you’d get those odds on them winning AFCON tbfThats next Summer- dont you mean the AFCON?
Given a couple of players I’ll be interested in how Senegal go and I’ve got a soft spot for outsiders South Africa so they will be the matches I’m most interested in .
I’d likely hate watch Egypt but I don’t know now given the row .

Obviously we will miss our 2 players, but I still hope Senegal win it to make them happy.
Looking forward to it all.

Because Mane plays for them?
