Guinea-Bissau and Nigeria are going on with their respective AFCON journeys - their face-off is scheduled for January 22.
Who is most likely to win tomorrow?
Here is how bookies rate the two sides' chances to win tomorrow (betting odds powered by Yesplay):
Guinea-Bissau - 14.0
Draw - 5.5
Nigeria - 1.22
Guinea-Bissau
Guinea-Bissau have been so unlucky! Their loss against Ivory Coast was predictable but with Equatorial Guinea they should have got at least a point. Instead, they were defeated 2-4.
If their third opponents were a weaker side, hopes for getting to the knockout stages would be still alive. But that's Nigeria. Victor Osimhen and Co. will be looking for another big win.
Nigeria
After the opening game, when Nigeria failed to beat Equatorial Guinea, they were heavily criticised, and rightly so. Luckily for Nigeria, they managed to capitalise on the criticism and confidently beat Ivory Coast.
However, those positive changes mostly refer to Nigeria's defensive game. Their attack efficiency still leaves much to be desired: Victor Osimhen has had a lot of chances but failed to convert them.
Nigeria will be looking to win tomorrow and claim the first spot in their group. Guinea-Bissau seem to be the best possible opponent they could wish for.
Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria: Facts to know
Tomorrow's game will be the 100th AFCON match in the history of Nigeria. Only Egypt, Ghana and Ivory Coast have more AFCON games on their tallies.
In their first two AFCON games, Guinea-Bissau made more touches in the opposition box (30) than in their 2022 and 2019 AFCON campaigns - 26 and 28 respectively.
Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria: Prediction and betting tips
Nigeria have been shy in front of goal in their two previous games. In the upcoming game, they will try to make up for it. Even after they open the scoring, the Super Eagles will hardly stop. That's why betting on three or more goals looks reasonable.
Our betting tip: Goals total over 2.5 (Yesplay betting odds - 1.91)
