Seychelles vs Nigeria Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, the Nigerian team leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it has, which is maintained in any field that it plays. For this reason and even when you visit this opportunity, we believe that your simple victory in the first time is attractive to consider. Remember that your opponent is a combative selected but limited in various aspects of the game. Its objective will be to balance the balance with the field factor and with the encouragement of its public, but even so it will suffer a lot to control the greater hierarchy of the “Green Eagles”.
Seychelles:
The present of this team can be classified as negative, since it has not won 2 and a half years ago when it defeated Lesotho 2-0 at home. From there, in more, registered 4 draws and 12 falls between official and friendly matches. In 2018, the team played 4 matches in total (1 friendly and 3 by the COSAFA Cup). The results of these duels were as follows: Draw 0-0 against Eswatini at home in March for a preparation game, 1-1 equality against Comoros, 1-1 draw against Madagascar and defeat 2-1 against Mozambique.
On the other hand, do not forget that Seychelles already played a qualifying match in their group, which was extremely negative for their aspirations (5-1 loss to Libya after losing 3-0 in the first half). For this exit and knowing that there is a lot of difference between one squad and another, we believe that the visit will back its lines in a constant way, trying to populate the midfield to not receive a goal in the first 45 ‘minutes of play. In offensive matters, will seek to attack and score using the stopped balls and some lethal counter.
Nigeria:
After completing an irregular World Cup, the selected will seek to recover from the mood and forget what happened in Russia 2018 (2-0 loss to Croatia, 2-0 victory against Iceland and 2-1 loss to Argentina). Prior to these matches, the “Águilas Verdes” also lost 2 friendlies in preparation against England and the Czech Republic (2-1 at Wembley and 1-0 respectively). For this match, coach Rohr will use the best he has at his disposal, being able to repeat the 3-5-2 system he used regularly in the World Cup. Of course, it is vital that the main figures of the selected appear, among which are Ndidi, Mikel, Etebo, Moses, Musa, Iheanacho, Ighalo, Iwobi and Obi.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Nigeria already played a qualifying match in the group, which was negative for their interests (0-2 defeat against South Africa as a local). For this exit, it is expected that Nigerians risk at times and try to add their first 3 points in the competition. The goal of the squad is to qualify for the African Cup of Nations 2019, after failing to do so in the 2015 and 2017 editions.
No previous results have been found between the two selected, this being the first to hold Seychelles and Nigeria in its history.
