Nigeria v Guinea Betting Tips [26 June 2019]
The match
After starting their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group B engagements with a win, Nigeria will look to consolidate their hold in the group when they take on Guinea. Participating in their first AFCON since their win in 2013, the Nigerians started with a 1-0 win over Burundi. Incidentally, this is their fifth straight win in the AFCON tournament, so it is safe to say they are in the best of their form in this tournament. Nigeria, however, have been involved in tight matches recently, with six of their last seven matches including friendlies producing under 2.5 match goals. Even in the AFCON, eight of their last ten have produced under 2.5 match goals, so that could be the case once again here. Guinea started the tournament with a 2-2 draw against Madagascar, that extended their winless run to six games (D4, L2) in all competitions including friendlies. Not just that, Guinea are now winless in six AFCON games (D5, L1), four of which have seen an identical 1-1 score. They would of course be buoyed by their H2H record, having remained unbeaten in five against Nigeria (W3, D2).
Key Statistics
- Nigeria have managed a clean sheet in five of their last six matches.
- Eight of Nigeria’s last ten AFCON games have produced under 2.5 goals.
- Guinea are unbeaten against Nigeria in their last five competitive matches (W3, D2).
The bet of our experts
Forget the fact that Guinea have a positive record against Nigeria in the recent encounters, this is a game that the Nigerians would start as favourites. There is enough evidence in their previous games to suggest that this could be a tight encounter, though. Both sides have been involved in games where goals were few to come by. Back another tight game in this encounter.
