Betting on Black Stars at AFCON 2027: Everything You Need to Know Now
Ghana are in Group C for AFCON 2027 alongside Ivory Coast, Gambia, and Somalia. The tournament runs from June 19 to July 17, 2027 in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Ghana will not be playing at home, but they have shown at this World Cup that they can compete and win in neutral venues when the preparation is right and the squad is organised. Here is how to approach the betting for Ghana's AFCON 2027 campaign.
The Ivory Coast Game Is the Group Decider
Ivory Coast won AFCON in 2024 and are defending champions. They are ranked significantly higher than Ghana and will arrive at the tournament with the pressure of defending their title. History shows that defending champions at AFCON frequently underperform in the tournament immediately following their win. For Ghana bettors, the Ivory Coast group game is the one to target with the both teams to score market and possibly a Ghana draw at longer odds than the result deserves. This is not a game Ghana are expected to win. That is exactly when they sometimes do.
Somalia and Gambia: Take the Three Points Without Drama
Ghana should beat Somalia and Gambia comfortably. Back the clean sheet market in the Somalia game specifically. Somalia have not been at this level before and Ghana under Queiroz are too well-organised at the back for a team that limited. Against Gambia, both teams to score is the safer market because Gambia have shown the ability to score against better opponents in recent years. Do not assume a Ghana clean sheet against Gambia.
| Our Tip | Selection | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ghana to beat Somalia (clean sheet) | Yes | Somalia limited. Ghana too organised at this level. |
| Both teams to score Ghana vs Gambia | Yes | Gambia score against better teams. Ghana will score too. |
| Both teams to score Ghana vs Ivory Coast | Yes | The biggest game. Both teams have attacking quality. |
| Ghana to qualify from AFCON 2027 Group C | Yes | Should take four to six points from three games. |
| Ghana to reach AFCON 2027 quarter-finals | Each-way | World Cup progress gives the squad belief. Worth a long bet. |
