1.55Asian Handicap: Away +1.510

Nigeria started their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup in a rather disappointing way. It's time to see if at least things will be different for the CAN qualifiers. The beginning here is against Benin.

New coach and familiar opponent

German specialist Bruno Labadia will somewhat surprisingly take the helm of the Nigerians. Similar appointments seem to rarely be successful in Africa, and given the controversial track record of this coach, I'm not sure the situation will be different now. Some stars are also not in optimal form. Benin defeated Nigeria in a match earlier this year in a qualifier for the 2026 World Cup, then on their own turf.

Bet on +1.5 AH. Away Handicap

I will look for a difficult match for the hosts.
