Ghana vs Nigeria Prediction

Over2.5 goals
81% confidence

Why we picked this for Ghana vs Nigeria

Over 2.5 goals is our call for Ghana against Nigeria (African Cup Nations), rated at 81% confidence. Matches involving Ghana produced 2.4 goals per game over their last 5, and 2 of those went over 2.5. For Nigeria it is 2.8 goals per game, with 2 of 5 over 2.5. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 0 of their last 2 meetings finished over 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 81%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-0. The pick lost.
