Australia Women vs Nigeria Women Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in Australia’s last four games.
• Nigeria have conceded just one goal across their last four games.
• The Matildas have won 10 of their last 11 games.

Nigeria next up for co-hosts

Australia claimed a 1-0 win for Ireland in their World Cup opener and now face a tricky encounter with Nigeria.

The Super Falcons played out a 0-0 draw with a strong Canada side in their own curtain raiser, and will feel that result gives them a good platform to build on as they bid to reach the knockout stages.

Goals could be at a premium in Brisbane

The Matildas are the heavy favourites to win this game and they should have the quality to pick up a victory, but the value is perhaps in the goals markets and under 2.5 goals appeals.

There have been fewer than three goals scored in each of the co-hosts’ last four games and they have scored just four goals in total across those fixtures.

Nigeria have shown some resolve in defence of late with three clean sheets across their last four games, and they have only conceded more than twice in one of their last 21 games – shipping 20 in total during that run.

The African side should be able to keep this game tight and that should lead to a low-scoring affair.

However, Australia have home advantage and enough quality to pick up a victory and a 1-0 win for the Matildas appeals in the correct score market.
