Nigeria Argentina betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open, since Nigeria comes to this round very motivated due to the last triumph and Argentina needs to add the three points. Still, we believe that the Argentine national team dominates part of the match and creates the best opportunities, but Nigeria's fast transitions should create a lot of problems for the opponents. Taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the '' Over 2.5 goals '' market is a good option.

Preview
Nigeria and Argentina face , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 14‑11‑2017, and ended in a (2‑4) win by Nigeria.

Analysis Nigeria

After 1 win and 1 loss, they come to this 3rd round in the 2nd position of Group D, with 3 points won. In the previous round, they won against Iceland by (2‑0), after they have lost in their first group stage by (2‑0) against Croatia. In the last 10 matches Nigeria has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times, but have turned the score around in 3.

Nigeria heads into this motivated game after having conquered a 2-0 victory against Iceland, thus totaling the first three points in this competition: the two goals were signed by Musa. In the event of a draw, the Nigerians are well positioned to advance in this 2018 World Cup. In this game against Argentina, coach Gernot Rohr should play in 3-5-2, but with a more cautious strategy, since the opponent holds great individual values. Musa, CSKA Moscow player, is the player with more ability to shake the game of the African team, being this owner of great speed and technique. It seems that the coach counts on his best players for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Francis Uzoho, Bryan Idowu, Kenneth Omeruo, Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Victor Moses, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Mikel Obi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa.

Analysis Argentina

They come to his 3rd round of Group D in the 4th position, with 1 point won, after 1 draw and 1 loss. In their debut in this group stage they tied against Iceland by (1‑1). In the second round, they lost against Croatia by (0‑3). In the last 10 matches Argentina has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 10 of their 26 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Argentina is in a very difficult situation in this World Cup, having so far managed to win only 1 point in a draw against Iceland on the first round. We remember that the Argentines fell with a crash in the last game, when they lost against Croatia by 0-3. To advance in the competition, the Argentines need to win and hope that the Croats do not lose against Iceland. In this game against Nigeria, coach Jorge Sampaoli should go back to risk in the 3-4-2-1 privileging ball possession and organized attacks. Leo Messi is one of the great highlights of Argentina, however, has presented a poor performance in this World Cup. There are no weight absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Franco Armani, Gabriel Mercado, Nicolás Tagliafico, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Rojo, Éver Banega, Enzo Pérez, Ángel Di María, Gonzalo Higuaín, Lionel Messi.
Coach: J. Mascherano.
