Why this pick

Why we picked this for Egypt vs Nigeria

Our pick for Egypt vs Nigeria in African Cup Nations is Under 2.5 goals, with 74% confidence. Recent form: 1 of Egypt's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (1.8 goals per game in total), against 3 of 5 for Nigeria (3.0 per game). That recent scoring pattern is the main reason behind the pick.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 74%, 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 won.
