The draws of 2015 AFCON has been made with group C generally seen as the group of death. The group looks like this:

Ghana
Algeria
South Africa
Senegal

I’m going to predict the two teams that will make it out of the group, but first let me analyse the teams.

GHANA: Ghana is no doubt a strong force to reckon with in African football and they have a talented and passionate team. They also just hired Avram Grant, an experienced coach who has promised to bring back some disgruntled players that should include Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari. But the absence of Kwadoa Asamoah due to injury will be a setback. They can qualify from the group but I have my doubts because of strong opposition in the group.

ALGERIA: Their exploits during the just concluded World Cup speak volume of their capabilities. During the FCON qualifiers, they lost only their last match after they had already qualified thus proving that their impressive outing at the World Cup was no fluke. I tip them to qualify from the group.

SOUTH AFRICA: Theirs is a highly motivated young team. We all saw what they did to Nigeria during the qualifiers. They stopped Nigeria when there was nothing at stake for them and Nigeria needed to win. Nigeria just managed to keep intact their record of never losing any competitive match to them. South Africa didn’t lose any match during the qualifiers. That shows how good they are. Their players are not as experienced as the others in the group and the AFCON tournament is different from the qualifiers, so I don’t think they will make it out of the group although I will like them to make it.

SENEGAL: This team has many of their players plying their trade in Europe. They finished second in their group with 13 points (5 out of 7 group toppers actually finished with less than 13 points). They beat Egypt home and away during the qualifiers. I first took notice of their skills during the World Cup qualifying play-off against Ivory Coast. Though they lost out, they gave a very good account of themselves (their home games were actually played outside their country). I tip them to qualify from the group.

You can now make your own predictions. Mine are ALGERIA and SENEGAL.

The first correct prediction gets a prize from me.

I know Algeria will qualify but I can't predict d rest

busterr:

never liked south africa

Is it because they stopped us? It's not their fault that we didn't qualify, but ours.

Algeria and Ghana.

Baddestguyp:
I know Algeria will qualify but I can't predict d rest

Same thoughts!
All things being equal,Algeria will definitely proceed from the group


S'up?

Nice analysis by the OP but I have a slightly contrary opinion..
I expect Algeria and South Africa to go through.
I have absolute no beef for Ghana and Senegal , I agree that they have a very strong squad and experienced players who play their trades in Europe.
Starting with Ghana, a team full of your averagely young, experienced players who are hungry for success but Avram Grant.
They got a new coach barely 2months to Africa Cup of Nation, they coach has little time to understand the dynamics and psychology of the players individually and a team as a whole.
A coach who has little or no experience about Africa Teams and terrains.
These could make it difficult for them to qualify from this group of death.
Senegal., Teranga Lions, is a team made up young, experienced , energetic players.
On paper, based on the quality of players they have in the team, they should qualify from this group.
In the last two editions of this tournament, they equally had quality and experienced players in their team but nothing to show for it.
That shows that name doesn't win match a team...My intuition tells me that their antecedent would still replay itself.
Looking at a youthful, pacy, hungry and entertaining South African team, only God and Algeria can stop them!

Nice analysis you did there, but Senegal were not at the last edition in South Africa. I guess they used that period to build their team to become the formidable force they are now.

Algeria and Ghana i guess will make it.
