England vs Nigeria | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
England take part in their penultimate match before this summer’s World Cup Finals in Russia when they host Nigeria at Wembley Stadium, with Gareth Southgate’s men looking to record a confidence boosting victory in front of their home fans. However, with Nigeria having been tipped as a dark horse by many ahead of the World Cup in just a matter of weeks, it promises to be an entertaining encounter at the home of football.
Match Preview
England step up their World Cup preparations when they host Nigeria at Wembley next week, with the Three Lions looking to return to winning ways after being held to a frustrating draw by Italy last time around. However, with Nigeria having what is perhaps their best squad for a number of years, it promises to be a close encounter. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the England.
England Form
Having qualified for the World Cup Finals with relative ease, England registered an away win over the Netherlands, before being held by Italy in their last two friendly outings. Manager Southgate is likely to be without Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold for their clash with Nigeria as a result of their Champions League commitments. However, the likes of Captain Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Dele Alli are likely to form a promising attacking line-up for the hosts.
Nigeria Form
Nigeria travel to London having lost out to Serbia in a friendly clash last time around, with manager Gernot Rohr looking for his side to record a positive result at Wembley next week. Former Chelsea man Jon Obi Mikel is likely to lead the Super Eagles out, while the likes of Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi will all be familiar to fans of the Premier League.
Head to Head
The two nations have met just twice in the past, with their last clash coming during the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. A goalless draw was recorded that day, while their previous match saw England run out narrow 1-0 winners during a friendly clash at Wembley. However, with no matches having taken place for over 15 years, few conclusions can be made when it comes to their head-to-head record.
England vs Nigeria Prediction
Given their status as the home team next week and their performances during their World Cup qualifying campaign, it comes as little surprise that England are the firm favourites for victory with the majority of online bookmakers. Southgate’s men are available to back at odds of 8/13 with William Hill, while Nigeria are priced at 9/2 on the same platform to claim a surprise victory at Wembley. Meanwhile, a draw after 90 minutes is available at 5/2 with Paddy Power.
England vs Nigeria Betting Tip: over 2.5 goals
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on there being over 2.5 goals during the 90 minutes in North-West London, a market is available at a best price of 11/8 with Ladbrokes.
