Winner prediction: who do we expect to win AFCON?
The host nation has a certain advantage as it plays in front of its supporters, as is often the case in this competition. Therefore, Morocco is our favourite to win, but also the bookmakers' favourite for the 2025 edition.
They have been in excellent form for some time now, with a long unbeaten run and a strong squad featuring players who compete at the highest level. The Atlas Lions have everything it takes to be crowned champions on home soil.
However, other teams could also be in contention for the title, such as defending champions Côte d'Ivoire, Mohamed Salah's Egypt, Senegal, Algeria and Nigeria.
But at the moment, we are backing Morocco to win and are placing our bets on the host nation. Our prediction: Morocco will be crowned African champions.

The impact of AFCON statistics on your predictions
As for any football predictions, statistics play a key role in successful sports betting. That's why it's important to do your research before placing a bet to maximise your chances of winning. Absent players and the number of goals per match are important factors in predicting each team's chances of winning.
So, if Nigeria's main striker were to be injured for the AFCON, a bet of +2.5 goals for Nigeria would be a little ambitious.
Consequently, it is essential to know a few key figures or statistics before making predictions about the AFCON. Our table above can help you with this task.
AFCON odds: how to use them to bet with bookmakers?
If there's one other factor to keep in mind, it's that the odds offered by bookmakers are also crucial to a good betting strategy. It's important to understand that they reflect the probabilities of an outcome, and our algorithm obviously takes them into account in its calculations.
If you're planning to bet on an AFCON match, ask yourself this question: Are the potential gains from a successful bet worth the risk?
- For example, you predict Mali will beat Zambia in the group stages. The bookmakers offer odds of 1.50 for Mali, or a probability of 67%, using the formula (1/odds) x 100. However, the result remains unsure... If you are not sure that Mali will win, then avoid betting. It is not worth taking the risk to win only €5 for every €10 wagered.
- On the other hand, do you think Tunisia will win by a large margin against Uganda? Bookmakers are offering odds of 2.20 this time, giving them a 45% chance of winning. Does this seem higher than you would have imagined? If so, place a bet, as the risk taken compared to the potential winnings is in your favour.
As you can see, the odds offered by online bookmakers for the Africa Cup of Nations are clearly not to be overlooked and should always be taken into account. They help you make the right betting choices and predictions.
Guidelines for reliable AFCON predictions
All of the AFCON predictions on our site are based on over a hundred parameters. A real asset if you want to put all the odds in your favour to win as many bets as possible.
If you'd like to carry out an analysis yourself, here are three key tips to apply to your bets on the Africa Cup of Nations, especially for punters who are just starting out.
1. know the context of the AFCON
The AFCON is an international competition that takes place in the middle of the 2025-2026 football season. Many factors will therefore influence its outcome. It is therefore essential not to bet without knowing the context of each match!
A few questions should naturally come to mind. Is the team you think will win currently in better form than its opponent? Do the two teams have a history of past encounters that could add to the tension of the match? Is a key player missing from the squad? Are injuries within your team mounting up due to the succession of matches?
Before betting on the 2025 AFCON, it is essential to ask yourself all these questions. With time, this process will become automatic for you too! You will then reduce your risk of losing bets. Gather as much information as possible before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations to make your predictions shine! This applies to both your predictions on the winner of the AFCON and the winner of a match.
2. Place easy bets
Football predictions are the most varied on Wincomparator, so you can choose from a wide range of selections. The most common predictions are for the match result (1X2), both teams to score (BTTS) or Under/Over (+/- 2.5 goals). Unsurprisingly, these are the predictions with the highest chances of winning at bookmakers.
During the Africa Cup of Nations, bet mainly on single bets, avoiding random combinations of selections.
Certain odds have been popular for a long time, but their appeal has declined slightly. Nevertheless, it is still worth keeping an eye on them. These include bets on goal scorers, half-time results or the exact score of a match.
Classic bets are safer and will increase your chances of success and your winnings in the long term.
3. Adapt your AFCON bet according to the team line-ups
In a competition like the Africa Cup of Nations, with high stakes and in the middle of the regular season, line-ups can change quickly from one match to the next due to injuries or to rest certain players.
If a team's star player were to get injured during the group stage, the team's chances of winning would be reduced.
Fortunately for you, bookmakers are aware of the risks and most of them allow you to cancel your bets before the match if any information causes you to have doubts, via the cash out option. Be sure to check the team line-ups before betting on a 2025 AFCON match to reduce your chances of losing.
Our opinion on the difficulty of AFCON betting
The host country of the Africa Cup of Nations is often well placed to do well in the competition. However, the stakes are high and the big teams often rise to the occasion, as in all major competitions.
Anyone can beat anyone, of course, but betting on the Africa Cup of Nations remains relatively predictable, especially during the group stage. It gets a little more complicated later on when the favourites face each other.
