Best Football Bets and Expert Advice for 7 February – Top Betting Tips
Wednesday is set to be a day of thrilling football action, with several cup competitions taking center stage. In this article, we will provide you with the best betting tips for the day, including the bet of the day, a special bet, and a long shot.
Bet of the Day: Nigeria to beat South Africa to nil @ 5/4
Nigeria has been impressive in the Africa Cup of Nations, showcasing their defensive strength by recording victories to nil against Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, Cameroon, and Angola. In their upcoming match against South Africa, who needed penalties to beat Cape Verde in the previous round, Nigeria has a good chance of securing another triumph with a clean sheet. Although they may be missing a few key players, including striker Victor Osimhem, Nigeria has proven their ability to come out on top.
Special of the Day: Both teams to score in PSG v Brest, Saarbrucken v Borussia Monchengladbach and Atletico Madrid v Athletic Bilbao @ 17/5
Wednesday’s cup action around Europe promises excitement, with matches from the Coupe de France, DFB-Pokal, and Copa del Rey. In the Coupe de France clash between PSG and Brest, both teams have been scoring goals consistently. PSG has seen three or more goals in each of their last three games, including a 2-2 draw against Brest. While PSG is favored to progress, Brest has the talent to find the back of the net.
In the DFB-Pokal quarter-final between Saarbrucken and Borussia Monchengladbach, Saarbrucken, currently sitting 12th in the third tier, has surprised everyone by defeating Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt to reach this stage. They will be confident in their ability to at least score against a Gladbach side that has struggled to keep clean sheets away from home.
Moving to Spain, Atletico Madrid will face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg. Atletico Madrid recently secured a late draw against Real Madrid, and their defense will be tested by an in-form Bilbao side. Both teams have shown their attacking prowess, making this match a promising one for goals.
Long Shot of the Day: Ivory Coast to beat DR Congo in Extra Time @ 15/2
The Africa Cup of Nations semi-final between Ivory Coast and DR Congo is expected to be a closely contested battle. Although Ivory Coast has only won one game in regular time, they have managed to make their way to the last four. DR Congo, on the other hand, drew all three of their group games before winning on penalties against Egypt in the round of 16. Both teams have faced challenges throughout the tournament, but Ivory Coast’s caretaker coach, Emerson Fae, has brought a sense of destiny to the team. Ivory Coast is priced well to secure another victory.
Remember to Gamble Responsibly
Before we conclude, it is important to remember to gamble responsibly. Set time and monetary limits before playing, and only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Avoid chasing losses and refrain from gambling when upset, angry, or depressed.
