1.65Tip and bets
The Nigerian national team is definitely one of the best in the tournament in terms of the quality of football, but the Nigerians were unlucky with the tournament grid, and there was also not enough luck in the penalty shootout against the hosts of the tournament. Today, the African Brazilians will clearly strive to formalize the victory and get the bronze, and the task is quite feasible – Egypt has beaten Nigeria twice in the last three matches, the Pharaohs are quite vulnerable in defense, and they are also inferior in the selection of players.
We believe that the third place will go to the Nigerians. The betting tip is a victory for Nigeria. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on the total
The Nigerian national team scored 14 goals in six matches of the African Cup of Nations, plays openly and effectively – today the African Brazilians will obviously try to use their main trump card to the maximum. It is unlikely that Egypt has a real chance to win back to zero, but at the same time, the Pharaohs will probably also take risks in the match for third place, the pressure for the result is not as great as it would have been in the final. In such a match, it makes sense to count on an exchange of goals, both sides have their trump cards in attack.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Betting on corners
The Nigerian national team will probably play number one and will spend a lot more time in attacks than Egypt – there is no doubt that the Nigerians will win from the corners.
The bet is Nigeria's victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
