Matchday 10 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will feature the final set of group-stage games, with eight nations across Groups E and F taking to the pitch.
As with previous round three fixtures, games within each group will kick off simultaneously, with Group E starting first and Group F closing out the group stage.
With so much at stake, MRFixtips has identified the most reliable betting angles from all four encounters.
Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria: Wednesday, December 31 – 16:00
Equatorial Guinea enter their final Group E fixture knowing that only a win will keep their AFCON hopes alive, having lost their opening two matches.
That urgency is likely to push Nzalang Nacional into a more attacking approach, but it could leave them vulnerable against one of the tournament’s most disciplined sides.
Algeria have already secured top spot in the group and could become one of only two teams to finish the stage with a perfect record.
The Dessert Warriors have been outstanding defensively, remaining the only side yet to concede at this AFCON, with five of their last nine victories also coming via clean sheets.
Even if rotation is employed, Algeria should have enough quality to dominate at both ends in this encounter.
Recommended bet:
- Algeria to win – 4/6 (Ladbrokes)
Sudan vs Burkina Faso: Wednesday, December 31 – 16:00
Sudan head into this decisive Group E clash knowing they are already guaranteed at least a best third-place finish. However, victory here would lift them into second and secure automatic qualification.
Sudan can be optimistic of taking full spoils on Wednesday after ending a 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea, ending a four-game winless run.
Burkina Faso, meanwhile, saw a seven-match unbeaten streak ended by defeat to Algeria but remain well placed and require only a draw to progress. The Stallions boast more quality across the squad, which could prove decisive in this encounter.
Recommended bet:
- Burkina Faso to win – 4/5 (Bet365)
Gabon vs Ivory Coast: Wednesday, December 31 – 19:00
Gabon enter their final Group F fixture playing solely for pride, having already been eliminated after defeats in their opening two matches.
Ivory Coast, on the other hand, have everything to play for as they aim to secure top spot in the group. A win here for the 2023 AFCON champions could guarantee first place and ensure a smoother path into the knockout stage.
Recommended bet:
- Ivory Coast to win – 1/2 (Betano)
Mozambique vs Cameroon: Wednesday, December 31 – 19:00
Mozambique head into the final Group F clash full of belief after claiming their first-ever AFCON victory last time out, while Cameroon could secure top spot in the group with a win.
The Mambas sit just one point outside the top two and need a positive result to strengthen their progression chances, meaning they are unlikely to sit back.
With both sides still fighting for position, this contest promises sustained pressure at both ends, and given that Cameroon’s two matches at this AFCON have each produced double-digit corner counts, while Mozambique’s games have also averaged at least 10 corners, a high-volume set-piece encounter is expected.
Recommended bets:
- Over 8.5 corners – 10/11 (Betano)
