Nigeria and Ghana face each other in the second leg of the World Cup Quals on Tuesday evening. The home side wants to capitalize on playing in front of their fans, while the visitors will search for a surprise.
Nigeria Preview & Team News
After a goalless draw in the first match in Kumasi on Friday, Nigeria eyes a win in its backyard. The Super Eagles kept their net intact, and now they have a very good chance to secure a place in the final tournament. Their more recent scorelines show that quality has been evident in the Nigeria backline. Nigeria has been stingy, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their past six matches, standing at 3. The hosts need another disciplined display in the back while their talented offense will search for a way to the opposition’s net. Ademola Lookman will also be expected to make his debut for Super Eagles after opting to represent Nigeria at the senior level.
Ghana Preview & Team News
On the other hand, Ghana failed to secure the home advantage in the first leg. Now, the Black Stars need to search for a win on a hot trip to Lagos. The strike force from Ghana has failed to get amongst the goals over their previous six clashes, recording a poor return of just 4. In those matches, the Black Stars have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 8. Ahead of the game, footballghana has reported that FC Sheriff Tiraspol’s midfielder, Addo, has been ruled out of the gigantic clash after he sustained an injury during his side’s league game against Sfintul Gheorghe in Moldova’s top flight.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be another tight game, but the hosts will have a slight advantage in front of their hot crowd. We believe Nigeria will be capable enough of winning this match and snatching a place among the best teams in the world.
Goals Market Prediction
Just one of their last seven matches went over a 2.5 margin, and we don’t expect to see many goals in this one either. The stake is very high, and both teams should have a cautious approach. Therefore, we shouldn’t see more than two goals in total.
