3 Way & Both Teams to Score – Home & No 21/25 

Equatorial Guinea will have a tough time creating chances against this very experienced and industrious Nigerian side. They will try to manage damage control by keeping the Nigerian Star upfront quite while also trying to catch them on the counter. This kind of football is often considered to be negative or even backwards. The truth is in cup competitions, it sometimes paves the way to progress. By keeping the big team from finding the net you can walk away with a point and hopefully if you can pick up a win against one of the other small teams in your group, you may have enough to progress. However, we doubt they will be able to walk away with a point. That is why we recommend you take combo market of home win and no to both teams to score 21/25
