Guinea Bissau vs Nigeria Predictions

• Guinea-Bissau have not scored in six straight matches.
• Nigeria kept three clean sheets across their last five matches.
• Three of Nigeria’s last six victories ended with a 2-0 scoreline.

All or nothing for Guinea-Bissau

While they are yet to score a goal at this AFCON tournament, Guinea-Bissau are still in with a chance of progressing to the knockout stages in their final group game courtesy of a 0-0 draw in their opening game.

It is still a huge ask for Guinea-Bissau as ending their six game run of scoreless games would not be enough to progress here, they will need to beat one of the tournament favourites, Nigeria. That is no mean feat for a side who recently failed to net in back-to-back games vs a lowly Sudan.

Super Eagles soaring into the knockout stages

It has been a dream start to this AFCON for Nigeria after two wins from their opening two games has ensured that they will finish in top spot in this group, given that the tie-breaker for places goes on head-to-head before goal difference.

While we could see some experimentation from Nigeria in this game, the quality they possess throughout should be enough to strengthen their fine run of six wins from their last eight matches (D1, L1).

I predict that this will be a workmanlike 2-0 victory for Nigeria, though I am going on the both teams to score – no market for my main prediction to play it safe in case of another bore draw at this tournament.
