"36 of Angola's last 40 friendly matches have produced Under 2.5 Goals"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.1411/10 in Ivory Coast v Angola

Tobias Gourlay's in Africa as he searches for a 14th winner in 16 bets

Ivory Coast v Angola
Thursday 17:00

Metropolitanos 2 Deportivo Tachira 3 in Venezuela last night. And we were paid out before half-time again. It won't always be like this.

It's a numbers game we play and today's is pretty straightforward: 36 of Angola's last 40 friendly matches have produced Under 2.5 Goals.

That's a 90% hit rate.

The market expects new African champions Ivory Coast to wipe the floor with them tonight, but we're not so sure. The Angolans have conceded only six times in their last 16 home friendlies - and never more than once in a single game.

Since October last year 4/4 friendlies involving Ivory Coast have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

That we make 100%.
