Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Africa Cup of Nations fixtures, including Egypt vs. Ghana.

Matchday two of the Africa Cup of Nations sees Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau face off at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara on Thursday.

Neither team was able to come away with maximum points from their opening encounters and they will both be keen to get their AFCON campaign up and running with all three points here.

We say: Equatorial Guinea 2-1 Guinea-Bissau


Both teams gave good accounts of themselves in their respective opening matches and we are expecting a keenly-contested affair here. That said, we just about tip Equatorial Guinea to get the job done come the end of the 90 minutes.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Ivory Coast vs. Nigeria (Thursday, 5.00pm)

Africa Cup of Nations hosts Ivory Coast will be looking to build on their opening-day victory and book a place in the knockout stages when they take on Nigeria at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé on Thursday.

Off the back of a 1-1 opening-day draw against Equatorial Guinea, the Super Eagles will head into the game looking to recover from their disappointing start and get their quest for continental glory back on track.

We say: Ivory Coast 2-2 Nigeria


Ivory Coast head into this one with sky-high confidence following their solid display against Guinea-Bissau. However, we expect their defence to be put to the test on Thursday, given Nigeria's talented attacking unit led by Osimhen. We predict both sides will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Egypt vs. Ghana (Thursday, 8.00pm)

Two of the most successful nations in the continent go head to head in Group B of the Africa Cup of Nations when Egypt take on Ghana at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny on Wednesday.

While both nations are favourites to make it out of the group on paper, a disappointing opening-day outing has put them under pressure to get the result here and we anticipate an action-packed contest.

We say: Egypt 2-1 Ghana


Having both failed to win their opening game, Egypt and Ghana know Wednesday's result is pivotal in their push for a place in the knockout stages. Egypt are unbeaten in their last four games against the Black Stars and we are backing them to take the positives from Sunday's draw and come away with a narrow victory at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
