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

Cape Verde vs. Mozambique (Friday, 2.00pm)

Cape Verde seek qualification from their Africa Cup of Nations group when they take on Mozambique at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium on Friday.

The Blue Sharks began their Group B journey with a victory over Ghana, while the Mambas suffered late misery against seven-time champions Egypt.

We say: Cape Verde 2-1 Mozambique

Cape Verde are undefeated in three games against Mozambique (two wins), and that unbeaten sequence should become four as the Blue Sharks secure progress to the round of 16.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Senegal vs. Cameroon (Friday, 5.00pm)

The crucial second round of matches in the Africa Cup of Nations gets underway this week, and in Group C, we will see Senegal face off against Cameroon at Charles Konan Banny Stadium on Friday.

This could easily end up being the pick of the matchday 2 fixtures, with the defending champions and five-time competition winners duking it out in a battle of Africa's footballing heavyweights.

We say: Senegal 1-0 Cameroon

Based on the first round of matches in this year's AFCON, Senegal looks like one of the sides to beat. The Lions of Teranga have been especially good in defence in recent months, and we fancy they will be able to shut out a Cameroon side that were far from impressive in their opening match of the competition.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Guinea vs. Gambia (Friday, 8.00pm)

Guinea will look to build on a positive start to their Africa Cup of Nations campaign when they take on Gambia in their second match at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium on Friday evening.

Group C has been labelled the group of death in this year's competitions, and Senegal have shot out to an early lead, having secured the only win in the group during the first round of matches.

We say: Guinea 2-0 Gambia

Guinea were unlucky not to have got all three points against Cameroon in their opening match and will be eager to make amends for it in this one against a Gambia side that looked very poor against Senegal on Monday evening. We feel the National Elephants will put on another impressive display here and fancy them to secure their first win of the competition.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
