Nigeria vs Senegal betting preview

Nigeria will meet Senegal in an international friendly at the Hive Stadium in London on Thursday, before slugging it out with Burkina Faso next Monday in another friendly match.

The Super Eagles have had five straight wins since May 2016, beating Mali (1-0), Luxembourg (1-3), Tanzania (1-0), Zambia (1-2), and Algeria (3-1). This will be their first match in 2017.

Nigeria come into the game with good form, and SportyBet backs them to earn a win at (2.96), and get their sixth win in a row. Nigeria have beaten Senegal in three of their four matches and we do feel they will likely build on this impressive head-to-head record.

Senegal were one of the favourites to win the AFCON 2017 tournament but got eliminated in the quarter-finals. Also, they played a draw against Algeria before losing to eventual winners Cameroon on penalties. Aliou Cissé's side will try to bounce back in this encounter with Nigeria. A win for Senegal is priced at odds of (2.39) by SportyBet.

The last match between two teams was in 2006, in the Africa Cup Of Nations. Senegal lost the game 1–0 thanks to a Garba Lawal goal for Nigeria. A correct score prediction for Nigeria to win 1-0 once again on Thursday goes for (6.51).

The Super Eagles and Teranga Lions of Senegal both have great players up front, so there should be some goals in this encounter. These two teams have netted two or more goals in three of their last four matches, and we now expect similar display. Both teams to score has huge value in our opinion at (2.08) on SportyBet.

Nigerian Coach Gernot Rohr announced recently that he will make the maximum number of subs in this tie. Premier League trio Ahmed Musa, Iheanacho and Iwobi should lead the attack for Nigeria. Liverpool's Sadio Mane will lead the offense for Senegal.
