LiontipsNigeria vs Madagascar: betting tip (cf 1.65) and bets on the African Cup of Nations match
Command Analysis
Nigeria again failed to qualify for the World Cup, losing in the play-off matches to the DR Congo national team. But at the 2026 African Cup of Nations, the national team won bronze medals. In their last friendly match, Eric Schell's team lost 1-2 to Portugal. Overall, in the last five meetings, the team has scored two wins over Jamaica (3:0) and Zimbabwe (2:0) and twice drawn 2-2 draws with Poland and Jordan.
Madagascar is one of the outsiders of African football and has never participated in the World Cup. The national team's highest achievement is reaching the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations in 2019. In the last game, Corentin Martens' team suffered a crushing defeat from Morocco 0:4, and earlier they exchanged goals with Equatorial Guinea (1:1).
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
In 2 of the last 4 meetings, the hosts won with a "dry" score
Betting 1st half: Nigeria's victory
In 2 of the 4 games that have taken place, the "African Brazilians" won in the first half.
Tip and bets
After a successful performance in the African Cup of Nations, the Nigerian national team played five friendly matches, in which they looked confident and won two victories with a difference of several goals. Madagascar is capable of responding to the opponent, but in the last two games it has not won and scored only one goal. Eric Schell's team lost 0-2 in the last face-to-face meeting and have a chance to take revenge today. We expect that the African Brazilians will take advantage of a more powerful squad and win a convincing victory.
Betting Tip – Asian handicap (-1.5) for Nigeria with a coefficient of 1.65
