Cape Verde vs Nigeria: Nigerians have a strong squad

Cape Verde will take on Nigeria in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. See how their opponents are doing and get tips on what to bet. We've got a few options to bet on!

The Cape Verde national team obviously can't consider their start to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers successful. In the first round, being in the role of clear favourites, this team could not outplay the CAR, splitting the points with them. Cape Verde opened the scoring in the 36th minute but conceded 1-1 on 53 minutes. Thus, with one point, the team is now sitting in third place in Group C.

Nigeria got off to a sensational start to qualification for the upcoming Mundial. The Nigerians beat Liberia 2-0 in the first leg as Leicester's Kelechi Iheanacho gave his side 22 minutes before setting up the final score on 44 minutes. Nigeria have three points after the first round and are the ones topping the Group C standings. If they win today, they will make a very serious bid to get out of the group.

Here we have more faith in the visitors than the hosts. Not only did Nigeria get off to a flying start, but they have a great (by African standards) squad too. You've got Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Victor Osimhen. These guys are worthy of a trip to Qatar. The Cape Verde team failed to impress in the first round and there is no suggestion that they will impress in this one. The odds are good for a handicap victory (0), and we'd like to recommend taking advantage of it.

• Nigeria to win for 2.36;
• Nigeria to win with a handicap (0) for 1.65.
