Saudi Arabia vs Nigeria: Top free betting tips

On the back of a winning streak in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers, Nigeria meet Saudi Arabia in Friendlies on Friday, 13 October. The Green make an appearance in this game after a horrid losing streak in Friendlies.

Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Saudi Arabia have found the back of the net just four times in their last five fixtures. However, Nigeria has rattled the net ten times in just the previous three fixtures. Super Eagles will also be confident to create many scoring opportunities against the poor defence of the Green. Saudi Arabia has allowed goals at the back with an average of two goals per game in the last five fixtures. The only H2H between these teams featured a goalless draw but given the current situation, we expect a total of Over 2.5 Goals in this game.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

Despite losing all of their previous five matches, Saudi Arabia has managed to find the back of the net in four of them. On the other hand, Nigeria have rattled the net in each of their previous three fixtures. On the defensive end, Super Eagles have conceded goals in three of their last five fixtures in all competitions. Given these statistics, we predict these teams will share a BTTS outcome in this fixture.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Nigeria

Saudi Arabia has been limited to scoring just one goal per game in four of their last five matches. But Nigeria have rattled the net multiple goals in each of their previous two fixtures. Defensively, Super Eagles have conceded four goals in their last four matches. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has conceded multiple goals more than one goal in four of their last five fixtures. Hence, we predict Nigeria to record a 2-1 win in this game.
