African Nations Cup Last 16: Egypt to continue their march towards glory After making a healthy profit during the group phase James Eastham looks at the best soccer tips as some of the tournament's biggest names head into knockout action… Heavyweight rivals difficult to split Nigeria vs Cameroon Saturday July 6, 17:00 BST Live on Eurosport 2 Nigeria are favourites lớn win this clash of heavyweight sides but have yet to impress at the tournament. This means the smart choice on this match would be lớn oppose the Super Eagles in some way. Nigeria finished second in Group B after a shock 2-0 defeat lớn tournament debutants Madagascar in their final game. The feeling persists that veteran manager Gernot Rohr has no idea how to get the best out of his talented squad of players, just as he didn't at the World Cup in Russia this time last year- According to the soccer betting tips page! Cameroon have hardly set the tournament alight. They began with a 2-0 win over rank outsiders Guinea Bissau but failed to win or score in either of their next two matches, drawing 0-0 against both Guinea and Benin. Like Rohr, Cameroon manager Clarence Seedorf is struggling to get the most out of a decent squad of players. Nigeria are 2.66 to win, with Cameroon 3.20 and The Draw 3.00. There's no reason lớn make Nigeria favourites, so the smart picks are either The Draw, or Cameroon on the Draw No Bet market. We favour The Draw as there's so little lớn pick between these sides and it's likely lớn be a cat-and-mouse encounter between two teams hoping to pounce on mistakes rather than take risks of their own lớn win the match. Under 1.5 Goals is the other bet lớn consider. Both these sides have scored just twice in three matches lớn date. Four of the six group games involving these teams featured no goals or one goal. Given the stats, plus the fact both teams are likely to take a safety-first approach, the hai.40 price on Under 1.5 Goals has plenty of appeal.
