England vs Nigeria Betting Tips & Odds

by JohnnyBet from

The England squad for the World Cup was announced on Wednesday 16th May and while there were no major surprises in Gareth Southgate’s selection, there were many younger players included.

The most prominent of which was uncapped Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold. The 19 year old has enjoyed a good season for Liverpool in the Premier League and Champions League and will compete for the right-back position.

The England squad is the third youngest they have named in the history of the World Cup and they will begin their adventure with a friendly match against Nigeria on the 2nd June at Wembley. So let's look into England vs Nigeria betting tips!

1. England vs Nigeria Odds

England will be hoping to travel to Russia full of confidence and this fixture on home soil gives them perfect opportunity to do exactly that. The Three Lions are on a run of 8 matches without defeat and have played some tough friendlies against Germany, Brazil, Netherlands and Italy.

Nigeria are not expected to be as strong as any of those four teams and England have a great record at home, winning 8 and drawing 5 of their last 13 competitive and friendly games at Wembley, so England vs Nigeria oddds must be in favour of the European team and they are at 1.64 to win this match at 1xBet.

Nigeria participated in the African Nations Championship in January and February. The Super Eagles reached the final of the tournament but suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Morocco in the final. Since then, Nigeria have played two friendly games and defeated Poland 1-0 before losing 2-0 to Serbia and they are at 5.35 to win at 1xBet.

The African nation are the outsiders for this match and the last time they played England in an international friendly they lost the match 1-0.

The last time the two teams met was at the 2002 World Cup finals and the game ended level.

2. England vs Nigeria Predictions

England are strong at home but never defeat teams with any conviction. Only once in qualifying did they win by more than 2 goals and despite keeping three clean sheets in their last 4 home games, England have scored just 2 goals.

The last time the teams played, the match ended 0-0 in at the 2002 World Cup and Nigeria would be more than happy to settle for the same result in this friendly.
