Betting on AFCON 2025 is Up at Helabet Kenya!

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is just around the corner, with 21 December’s hosts’ match with Comoros setting the starting point.

Harambee Stars have failed to qualify, but it’s still our tournament too, as every Kenyan is free to root for any other African team they sympathise with. Helabet will accompany you along the way, offering the best AFCON 2025 betting odds, hundreds of betting markets for each event, as well as data and statistics to capitalise on.

There are 24 AFCON participants divided into six groups of four, so each team is guaranteed to play at least 3 matches. Two teams from each group qualify directly for the knock-outs, together with the best four third-placed teams.

Morocco is an uncontested favourite on paper, enjoying home venue support. Egypt is the second favourite, typically playing strongly on AFCON and holding the lead in the number of titles — 7. Other favourites include Algeria, Senegal, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. All have powerful teams with names like Hakimi (Morocco), Osimhen (Nigeria), Salah (Egypt), and Mané (Senegal). So expect odds on them winning their games to be low.

The tournament, however, can be wildly unpredictable, with underdogs defeating favourites against all odds. Especially at the group stage, when the best teams don’t play all-in yet, saving strength for the knock-outs.

For example, the AFCON 2025 betting odds on our neighbouring Tanzania match against Nigeria reflect a large disparity in strength “on paper” between teams, as the odds fluctuate around 8.0–8.4 for Taifa Stars’ win, 3.96 for a draw, and 1.4 on the Super Eagles prevailing.

But remember Madagascar, the 109th squad in FIFA rankings during the AFCON 2019? They defeated Nigeria 2–0 during their group stage game. Tanzania is ranked 112th in the FIFA rankings, so… a chance for another upset due to underestimation?

And a great opportunity to multiply stake more than 8 times, should that happen!

If betting on Tanzania (or any other underdog) winning or drawing seems like a very bold move for you, Helabet gives other options to bet on African Cup of Nations, opening 1000+ markets on every game.

This bet covers any two outcomes out of three in comparison to the ordinary bet, giving a 66% chance of predicting the correct outcome. The odds are lower that on 1x2, though.

Helabet allows betting on whether the total score in the game will be over or under a certain margin. For example, potential results like 2–3 or 4–1 or 5–0 would all count as Over 4.5 with the odds of 6.5 attached (the moment the article was written).

A very simple bet on its own, it offers only “yes” or “no” options. The total score as well as the winner are irrelevant. Can be paired together with Double Chance to give more worthwhile odds.

Here Helabet assigns negative margins to the favourite (like Nigeria) and positive — to the underdog (like Tanzania). For example, if +2 handicap is chosen for Tanzania, then Taifa Stars must either win the match with any score, draw or lose with no more than a 2-goal margin for the bet to be settled.

Predict the exact match outcome after 90 minutes + stoppage time. This bet is more of a guess, which makes it a perfect AFCON 2025 football betting option together with a group of friends right before the match. But the odds can be advantageous, for example, 26 on the game to finish 2–2.

This one is for particular player fans. Do you believe in established stars like Victor Osimhen, or would like to make a wild guess for wild odds that some unknown guy will jump off the bench near the stoppage time and find the back of the net?

As a part of its tournament package, Helabet offers the AFCON 2025 best odds by lowering its margins. For example, a 1x2 bet on the Nigeria-Tanzania game has a 5.46% margin according to the Pinnacle margin calculator, and margins below 6% are considered very fair. Happy betting, and let’s hope for a successful tournament for the squad you are rooting for.
