Equatorial Guinea – Nigeria Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (23.01.2018)

Another forecast for the African Nations Championship for the final match between Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.

The group comes to this game with Nigeria 4, Rwanda 4, Libya 3, Equatorial Guinea 0. The issue is that Nigeria must win this match to be first group with certainty and at least score to qualify. The selection of Equatorial Guinea arrives eliminated to this party and having left an unfortunate image.

Recall that in this competition do not play selections A, but the players of the local leagues of these countries.

As for the Nigerian team, a great participation in this tournament where he has played great football in the matches played so far, being far superior to Rwanda and superior to Libya in their matches. Both selections that have beaten Equatorial Guinea. With great danger on set pieces have created many times, especially against Rwanda (that should end in a landslide scandal) and has fewer goals than in good logic would have. It is true that it is not usual to see Nigerian players with the national team, but this is a true African soccer giant with many players in Europe and that is difficult. Even so, Nigerian teams compete at a good level in Africa, from you to the best leagues on the continent, having recently been eliminated by Egyptian clubs, etc. which is already a superior and unimaginable level for Guinea’s crappy league.

Of Guinea I am not going to say much, because everything is already commented in other picks. Horrible selection, classified without merit and pure luck at the crossings, with players from a league that does not compete at the continental level and with a very very low profile. Their participation in the tournament has been horrific, with a disaster in their match against Libya (they were thrashed by the fast track) and a horrific match against Rwanda that they also lost.

Seen the level of Nigeria before two selections that were superior to the Guineans I hope that they solve the game by the fast track and pass over this sad team. With a minimum of success of the Nigerians and seen the disaster of Guinea on set pieces the win should be served for a Nigeria that would certify their way to the next round as a leader. It is important to be a leader of this group because they would avoid Morocco (hosts and big favorites until the end).

I add: given the level of Equatorial Guinea, which are eliminated and that its presence in this tournament is a gift, I do not rule out playing the less usual ones of the former Spanish colony. If the headlines are horrible, reservations should be …
