Expert Betting Tips

The Super Eagles of Nigeria seem to be back on track following their (3-0) victory over Benin Republic. The magical display was one of their best in a long time, and they could have scored more than three goals. At the same time, Rwanda have been solid defensively in recent games and have lost just a game over their last eight matches. 

With the quality of the Super Eagles, we expect them to overwhelm their opponent here, even though it’s tough to secure the maximum points away from home. Rwanda have an organized defense, while Nigeria possesses one of the best attackers in the continent; bet on the away team to score in both halves for 3.25.

We expect to see Nigeria get a goal before the break 1.90.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.57.

Good luck!
