Nigeria vs Benin Prediction

For this African Cup Nations fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Nigeria vs Benin, at 72% confidence. In their last 4 matches, Nigeria's games produced 3.0 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Benin's games averaged 1.5, with 0 of 2 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 3 of the 6 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 72%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 2-1. The pick won.
