Sierra Leone Nigeria betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match comes with expectations of a lot of goals. It is not for less this prediction, because the last time they faced each other the game ended in 4x4. The host team needs to score if they want to continue dreaming of a spot and will go on top of the opponent. Nigeria has quality in the squad to know how to withstand the pressure and score goals in the counterattack. But the visiting team won't just be waiting. It has as a feature to apply an offensive game and that is what we expect. That said, we suggest a game with over 2.5 goals.

Preview
Sierra Leone and Nigeria meet at National Stadium, in a match for this stage of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification (Group Stage). There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 09‑02‑2011 and ended with the final score: Nigeria (2‑1) Sierra Leone. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Sierra Leone

After 1 draw and 1 loss, the home team is currently in the 4th position, with 1 point won. In the last match, they have lost (1‑0) in an away match against Benin, after in the previous round they have tied (1‑1) at home against Lesotho. 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 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 16 conceded. Sierra Leone has won 1 and tied 1 of the last 2 home matches.

After successive negative results, the Sierra Leone national team did something historic in the last match against Nigeria. True, they didn't reach the win, but reacted in a match that was 4x0 against until they reached the draw. It will certainly be a reason for cheer and confidence for the team to seek points in this game and continue dreaming of a spot. If the defense makes a better team game, the chances of success in the match grow.

Analysis Nigeria

The away team is currently in the 1st position, with 6 points won, after 2 wins. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Benin by (2‑1). In the last round, they have won an away match against Lesotho by (2‑4). 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 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 9 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Nigeria has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

The team could be in a more comfortable position within the group because, in the last game, after winning by four goals, they saw the match end in a draw. In this match the charges for the attention and focus of the team, as well as a more adjusted defensive system will be put to the test. Still, the team is the leader and favorite of the group. Their attack is still in tune and is the hope for more goals.
