Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria na di second AFCON qualifier wey go happen on Tuesday evening, and di match get plenty talk around am, including value on di BTTS bet.
Expectations dey high for Guinea-Bissau ahead of dis AFCON qualification campaign. Di Djurtus reached three consecutive Africa Cups of Nations before dem fail to qualify for di 2025 edition in Morocco.
To make matters worse, di Djurtus dey inside one group with 2027 co-hosts Tanzania. Dat one mean say only one qualification spot dey up for grabs inside Group L, and e go to di team wey finish first.
Emiliano Te’s men got off to di best possible start by beating Tanzania 2-0 in dia opening game. As a result, dem sit top of di group heading into dis crucial fixture.
With di head-to-head record serving as di tie-breaker rather than goal difference, victory in dis upcoming clash can’t be overstated.
Nigeria also secured three points in dia opening game against Madagascar, but dem were far from convincing. Some pipo dey question dia ability to win matches without Victor Osimhen.
Di Super Eagles were stunned by dia visitors after just 16 minutes. However, debutant George Ilenikhena restored parity in first-half stoppage time.
After di break, another debutant, Moses Usor, scored im first Super Eagles goal to win di match.
Head coach Eric Chelle will dey concerned by im team’s lack of fluency, especially as dem prepare for another tricky away game.
After scoring twice in dia first match against Tanzania, e slightly surprising say bookmakers never give di hosts much of a chance here.
Guinea-Bissau don score three goals in each of dia last two outings and dem dey underrated. Dem get enough attacking quality in dat squad to get on di scoresheet here.
Beto and Mama Balde’s experience abroad will dey crucial for di hosts’ attacking play. Di former don already record an assist, while Balde find di net last time out.
Dis no be watertight Nigeria defence. Di Super Eagles concede five goals in dia recent three matches, highlighting dia defensive problems of late.
Dat one suppose give Guinea-Bissau confidence say dem can score at least once against Nigeria. Given di value on offer, dis selection difficult to ignore.
Despite Nigeria winning dia opening game, dem seriously lack cohesion and fluency against Madagascar. Nigeria were rescued by goals from two debutants.
Before dat win, di Super Eagles were on a two-game winless run. Guinea-Bissau also dey on a poor run of form before dia victory over Tanzania. Dem were winless in four consecutive matches.
However, di Djurtus were good value for di win. Additionally, dem don get experience in overturning di Super Eagles.
While di visitors enjoy a positive head-to-head record, a surprise more possible at dis stage. Guinea-Bissau’s only win over Nigeria come in a similar situation.
Guinea-Bissau stunned di African giants in di 2023 AFCON qualifiers away from home. Now at home in Bissau, di hosts can cause an upset, especially against a Nigeria side wey never reach im best.
We don already establish di home side’s attacking credentials. Dem get a couple of star players wey dem can depend on for dis fixture.
After conceding eight goals in dia recent five matches, Guinea-Bissau will struggle to keep out Nigeria’s attack. Nigeria don also dey productive in front of goal, scoring 10 goals in dia recent five outings. Dat na average of two goals per 90 minutes.
However, dem might struggle to score more than once here. Each of Nigeria’s last three matches don produce goals at both ends.
As a result, we expect both teams to score in Bissau on Tuesday night. Dis pick go against di history of dis fixture.
All four previous meetings between di two sides saw at least one team fail to score. Dem never meet for nearly three years.
