AFCON 2025 Favourites to Win

Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria are the tournament favourites, according to the latest African Cup of Nations odds.

As hosts, Morocco can rely on overwhelming home support in all their matches. Combined with a talented squad featuring top players like Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Diaz, and Hakim Ziyech, the 2022 World Cup semifinalists have a strong chance of lifting the trophy on home soil.

Algeria will also be looking to win the title again after taking the crown in 2019, with Captain Riyad Mahrez leading the attack. Their AFCON betting odds reflect bookmakers’ belief in their ability to triumph in Morocco.

Fellow North Africans and record-winners, Egypt also have short AFCON 2025 winner odds, and star player Mohammed Salah will be looking to win the title for the first time.

Africa Cup of Nations Senegal odds also show you shouldn’t write off the Teranga Lions. With two finals in the last three editions, including lifting the trophy in 2021, Senegal remain one of Africa’s top teams. Led by Sadio Mané, Ismaïla Sarr and Nicolas Jackson in attack, and Kalidou Koulibaly in defence, they have the balance and depth to challenge again.

Meanwhile, there are several dark horses with long Africa Cup of Nations 2025 odds that could cause upsets. South Africa, DR Congo, and Gabon might not be AFCON betting odds favourites, but their recent Nations Cup showings suggest they are worth keeping an eye on.

2025 AFCON Groups and Qualification Odds

Before looking at AFCON 2025 winner odds, we need to see who makes it out of the groups. The group stage promises several interesting matchups.

Group F particularly features some heavyweights, including AFCON 2023 winners Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Gabon, all of whom will aim to secure their spot in the knockout round.

Now, let’s check out the groups and the African Cup of Nations betting odds of teams to qualify from each one according to Hollywoodbets:

2025 AFCON Group A Odds to Qualify

• Morocco (0.06)
• Mali (0.15)
• Zambia (0.55)
• Comoros (2.25)

(Odds subject to change)

We expect Morocco to top this group and advance to the knockout round. Mali will likely finish as runner-up, with players like Yves Bissouma and Hamari Traore playing vital roles.

Group B Odds to Qualify

• Egypt (0.08)
• South Africa (0.33)
• Angola (0.35)
• Zimbabwe (1.60)

(Odds subject to change)

Egypt are our favourite to top this group, as reflected in their AFCON betting odds. The race for second could be competitive, but South Africa’s quality should see them through.

Group C Odds to Qualify

• Nigeria (0.08)
• Tunisia (0.12)
• Uganda (0.90)
• Tanzania (1.10)

(Odds subject to change)

Nigeria’s star-studded team and tournament know-how put them ahead in this group. We also expect Tunisia to progress, backed by a strong fan presence and the familiar North African conditions.

Group D Odds to Qualify

• Senegal (0.05)
• DR Congo (0.25)
• Benin (0.60)
• Botswana (1.50)

(Odds subject to change)

Senegal have one of the strongest squads in the tournament and are our pick to win this group. DR Congo can’t be overlooked after reaching the semi-finals last time, and second place should be between them and Benin, with one of them likely advancing as one of the best third-placed teams.

Group E Odds to Qualify

• Algeria (0.06)
• Burkina Faso (0.22)
• Equatorial Guinea (0.65)
• Sudan (1.25)

(Odds subject to change)

Algeria should win Group E comfortably. Burkina Faso will likely finish second, and we expect Edmond Tapsoba and Dango Ouattara to be standout performers. Also, keep an eye on Equatorial Guinea after their fairytale run at AFCON 2023.

Group F Odds to Qualify

• Ivory Coast (0.08)
• Cameroon (0.15)
• Gabon (0.60)
• Mozambique (1.50)

(Odds subject to change)

Ivory Coast are the defending champions but could face a tough test in Group F. A revitalised Cameroon side, led by Bryan Mbeumo, have the quality to finish first. Both teams should advance, with top spot likely to be decided by their meeting on December 28, 2025.

In AFCON 2025, the top two teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams progress to the Round of 16.

The full group stage fixtures are already confirmed, meaning every team knows its schedule. You can see how South Africa fits into that picture in Bafana Bafana’s Group B Dream, Tournament History, Key Stats & All You Need to Know.

2025 AFCON Top Scorer Odds

Here’s a list of the full AFCON Golden Boot odds from Betway:

(Odds subject to change)

Top strikers from across Africa will contest the AFCON 2025 Golden Boot. Victor Osimhen and Mohamed Salah are favourites. Osimhen’s form for club and country, highlighted by a hat-trick that secured Nigeria’s World Cup playoff spot, keeps him among the favourites.

Salah remains Egypt’s key threat despite a quiet start to the season. Youssef En-Nesyri will also be central to Morocco’s campaign. If they live up to their status as AFCON betting odds favourites, his goals will likely play a major role.

2025 AFCON MVP Odds

Here are Africa Cup of Nations odds to win the MVP/Best Player award:

(Odds subject to change)

The AFCON MVP award often goes to a player from the winning team, though Nigeria’s William Troost-Ekong claimed it last time despite finishing runner-up.

Victor Osimhen is among the favourites for the AFCON 2025 honour after a strong start to the season with Galatasaray. Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi is another contender who could inspire his team to victory on home soil. Mohamed Salah’s AFCON odds reflect his status as one of Africa’s best players.

2025 AFCON Golden Glove Odds

Here’s a look at favourites for the best goalkeeper award as per AFCON 2025 betting odds:

(Odds subject to change)

Moroco’s Yassine Bounou is the leading contender here after his strong start to the season for Al Hilal. Cameroon’s Andre Onana has rediscovered his form at Trabzonspor after going on loan from Man United. Finally, Bafana shot-stopper Ronwen Williams will be looking to retain his crown after winning the Golden Glove award at AFCON 2023.

What are AFCON Odds

AFCON betting odds are simply numbers that tell you two things:

1. Probability: How likely an event is to happen (e.g., South Africa winning a match). Lower odds mean a higher chance of winning.
2. Payout: How much money you will win if your bet is correct.

South African bookmakers use decimal odds, as shown above, which are easy to read and calculate.

How AFCON Bookmakers Set Odds

Bookmakers analyse A LOT of data to set the odds for AFCON 2025 Winner Odds or individual matches. They look at:

• Current Form: Recent performance of teams in qualifiers and friendlies.
• Squad Strength: The quality of key players (e.g., Salah for Egypt) and depth of the bench.
• Injuries & Suspensions: Missing star players significantly increase a team’s odds (lowering their chance).
• Historical Performance: Past AFCON records (e.g., Egypt’s history of success, having won 7 times vs. a debutant nation).
• Market Activity: If many people bet on one team, bookmakers lower those odds to balance their risk.

Relationship Between Odds and Payouts

Calculating your potential win is a simple multiplication sum.

• Formula: Stake x Odds = Total Payout (Winnings + Original Stake)

Example: AFCON Match Bet

• Bet: You bet R100 on Bafana Bafana to win beat Angola.
• Odds: The bookmaker offers 3.50.
• Calculation: R100 x 3.50 = R350.
• Result: You get R350 total into your account (R250 profit + your R100 stake back).

Example: AFCON 2025 Winner Odds (Outright)

• Bet: You bet R50 on Morocco to win the tournament.
• Odds: 4.00.
• Calculation: R50 x 4.00 = R200.
• Result: You pocket R200 total if Morocco lifts the trophy.

South Africa’s AFCON 2025 Odds and Chances

South Africa may have long Africa Cup of Nations outright odds of 41.00 with Gbets, but those numbers underestimate their true ability. Bafana reached the AFCON 2023 semi-finals, losing to Nigeria only on penalties. They then finished ahead of the Super Eagles in their 2026 World Cup qualifying group this year, showing they can compete with the continent’s best.

Fans can back Bafana’s Africa Cup of Nations odds to win at slightly lower AFCON betting odds of 39.00 with Soccershop and claim a 100% deposit bonus up to R7,500. Use the Soccershop promo code AFRNET to claim the bonus when registering. With Ronwen Williams, Lyle Foster and Teboho Mokoena to call upon, South Africa have the quality to surprise a few favourites once again and add to their solitary title in 1996.
