Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous three meetings, Nigeria have won once and shared the spoils twice against Zimbabwe. The Super Eagles pulled off a decent display against Rwanda, scoring twice away from home. The win, which was inspired by Victor Oshimen, takes them to the fourth spot on the log. To make it out of the group, Nigeria must win all their games and hope some other teams drop points along the way. This isn’t as easy as the bookies think because we believe the Warriors will make life difficult for Nigeria.
The new Super Eagles coach has stressed the fact that Nigeria can’t play defensively, as he thinks he has enough arsenal to be an offensive side. Nigeria will definitely start strong and might get a goal apiece in both halves for 2.03 at (1xbet).
Considering the quality of players on the pitch, I expect to see more than two goals here for 1.85 at (Bet365).
The Super Eagles of Nigeria can’t afford to slow down in a crucial game like this, and considering they play at home, I expect Nigeria to secure a win and score more than two goals for 2.03 at (Betway).
Good luck!
