Tunisia vs Nigeria Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both selected have proved to be strong throughout the competition. Remember that the “Green Eagles” score and yield goals with relative ease, demonstrating this throughout the group stage and in the direct elimination stages. Paints to be a more open duel than expected, since always the games for the 3rd and 4th place are characterized by having spaces and have a psychological burden lower than what exists in the semifinals.
Tunisia:
The team is beaten to this match, as it was close to qualify for the final of the African Cup of Nations. And we say this because he was eliminated by Senegal in overtime. The match ended 0-0 in the regular stage, being defined in the 30 ‘minutes after this.
Now the objective of the Tunisians is to be on the podium, beyond the coach can use an alternate or mixed on this opportunity. Of course, the physical factor will not be a problem, since the team has had 3 days of rest to recover strength. In the previous rounds he achieved acceptable results, after beating Ghana by penalty kicks in the 8th round and beating Madagascar 3-0 in the last 4.
The logic indicates that the Tunisians propose more, since they are characterized by being attired with the ball. Therefore, it is logical that they convert at least one goal during the 90 minutes of play. Moreover, it is not ruled out that they convert 2 if they take advantage of the spaces that Nigerians sometimes leave.
Nigeria :
The “Green” table comes devastated to this encounter after losing 2-1 on the final against Algeria. The match seemed like it was going to extra time, but Mahrez’s goal in the 50th minute of the second half changed the whole situation.
Now the goal of the “Eagles” is to take the third place, beyond the row they could have after what happened against the Algerians. It is not excluded that in this game some substitutes align or that the technician uses a mixed one from the initial whistle.
A detail to consider Nigeria is that scored and yielded goals in the rounds of direct elimination, after surpassing 3-2 to Cameroon in 8th of end and win 2-1 to South Africa in the 4th of final. Considering this, we trust Nigerians to convert at least as much, whether they play well or badly. And they can do it, since they have physical and direct players at the moment of unbalancing.
The last duel held by Tunisia and Nigeria was in January 2016 for the African Nations Championship. On that occasion, they equalized 1-1 (0-0 draw in the first 45 ‘minutes of play).
