Nigeria Senegal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this match is the “both teams score – yes”. It’s foreseeable a very disputed match, with some open moments of play, however, I’s expected that the Nigerians will have more initiative in the match. In addition, the teams enjoy enormous offensive skill in comparison to the defensive one, making a bet in favor of the goals for both sides in this friendly to be full of value.

Analysis Nigeria

The home team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 2 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Luxembourg (1‑3) Nigeria and Nigeria (1‑0) Mali. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 13 conceded.

Usually the coach Gernot Rohr plays in 4-3-3 privileging the ball possession and organized attacks, mainly through the flanks. Victor Moses is the player with more competence to unbalance the opponent. Looking at the last 10 matches it’s possible to note that Nigerians have a good balance in the sectors, as they scored on average 1.6 goals and suffered on average 0.8 goals per match. For this match, the coach must rely on the usual players.
