Nigeria vs Benin Preview

Nigeria will be looking to bounce back from a defeat against these very opponents in June. At home I fancy them to do it, but the game will be tightly contested. There is value on BTTS.

Head to Head

Benin beat Nigeria 2-1 in their last meeting in June this year.

Nigeria Form

Nigeria have had a strange 2024 to date but have the quality to fix their last few results. During the Africa Cup of Nations this year, Nigeria had a good run where they reached the final and lost to Ivory Coast.

However, since then results have not really panned out. They beat Ghana in a friendly before losing 2-0 to Mali in another friendly international. That was followed by a 1-1 draw at home to South Africa in a World Cup qualifier.

Their last outing was against the very same opponents that they face now, also in a World Cup qualifier. The Super Eagles were favourites but lost the match 2-1 in Benin.

Nigeria Injuries & Team News

Expect some changes to the Nigerian side that lost to Benin back in June.

Benin Form

Benin failed to qualify for the 2024 AFCON tournament but other than that, their form has been impressive.

Currently Benin are third after four matches in the World Cup qualifying group phase, a position they will be pleased with. The top three in the group are all on seven points.

Benin beat both Rwanda and Nigeria at home in their last two matches, both World Cup qualifiers. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 in a friendly against Ivory Coast and lost 1-0 to Senegal in a friendly international.

Benin Injuries & Team News

Benin are in good form so I do not foresee them making too many changes.

I am backing BTTS Yes and a Nigeria win in this game. 2-1 is a possible scoreline.
