Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous nine meetings, Niger Tornadoes have won three while Akwa United have recorded six victories. The hosts have been poor lately, losing twice over their last four games on their home turf. Unlike the visitors, who have been impressive in their previous three games, scoring ten and conceding twice. Even though we are aware that the hosts are the favorite, Niger Tornadoes are not to be underestimated. I would rather settle for goals here because the visitors will at least fight for a point; bet on BTTS for 2.33.
We expect both sides to settle for a halftime stalemate for 2.10.
A win and over 2.5 goals for any side might surface here for 2.17.
Good luck!
