Prediction
Over 1.5 Goals @1.51
The reasoning for backing Over 1.5 Goals in this Nigeria vs Tunisia clash is rooted in the sheer volume of attacking opportunities both teams generated in their opening fixtures. Nigeria was incredibly active in the final third against Tanzania, recording 21 shots. While their conversion rate was lower than expected, the presence of Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman ensures that the Super Eagles are always a threat to score. On the other side, Tunisia showcased ruthless efficiency by scoring three goals against Uganda. With both teams already on three points, the pressure to defend deep is slightly reduced, which often leads to a more open game as they vie for the top spot in Group C. Statistically, both sides saw this line easily cleared in their first matches, making it a very logical and high-probability selection for this weekend.
