14/01 Weekend Tips: Ghana vs Cape Verde Islands Bet Tips

Betting Tips 

In the thrilling realm of football, two captivating matches are drawing attention this week. First, we turn our gaze to the Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana seeks redemption after a disappointing 2021 campaign. As four-time champions, they’re set to face Cape Verde Islands, aiming to leverage their historical dominance and the prowess of players like Mohammed Kudus and the Ayew brothers.

Shifting focus to the Premier League, a contrasting scenario unfolds. Manchester United, grappling with inconsistency, has managed only three wins in their last ten games across all competitions. They face a formidable Tottenham side, which has shown resilience in away games and previously triumphed over United in August. This match-up presents a crucial moment for both teams, with United desperate to regain form and Spurs looking to solidify their standing.

Also, Not just on these two games, TopbetsSA picks the top five betting fixtures you can place your money on, plus extra tips for our readers.     

Ghana vs Cape Verde Islands

Ghana, aiming to rebound from their disappointing performance in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, looks set to start strong against Cape Verde Islands in the 2024 edition. Historically dominant in this matchup with four wins from four games, Ghana’s chances are bolstered by the presence of key players like Mohammed Kudus and the Ayew brothers. Cape Verde, struggling with recent form, faces a tough challenge. The match is not expected to be high-scoring, given both teams’ recent goal-scoring records, with a 1-0 victory for Ghana being a likely scenario.

Verdict:

Ghana’s performance in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations was underwhelming, yet as four-time champions, they are poised for a stronger showing this time. Their unblemished record against Cape Verde Islands, with four wins in as many encounters, is encouraging. The team’s strength is further amplified by the presence of talents like Mohammed Kudus, Inaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo, and the Ayew brothers. Conversely, Cape Verde Islands, the underdogs in this matchup, have faced challenges recently, losing four of their last six games.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester United, currently struggling with consistency and sitting eighth in the Premier League, face a challenging encounter against Tottenham. Despite a recent win over Wigan, United’s overall performance this season has been lackluster, with just three wins in their last ten across all competitions and only four points from their last five league games. Tottenham, on the other hand, are in strong form, having won five of their last six matches in all competitions and are close to breaking into the top four in the league. Despite some difficulties in away games, Tottenham’s overall away record is solid. Given Manchester United’s unpredictable form, Tottenham is favored to win, possibly with a 2-1 scoreline, in their upcoming match.

Verdict

Manchester United’s recent form has been underwhelming, with just three victories in their last ten matches across all competitions and a mere four points secured from their last five Premier League games. In contrast, Tottenham boasts a stronger away record in the league, having suffered only two defeats in their last ten away fixtures. Notably, Spurs also claimed a victory against Manchester United in their previous encounter back in August.
