Nigeria vs Madagascar Prediction

Nigeria failed to qualify for successive FIFA World Cups earlier this decade, despite The Super Eagles boasting an impressive squad. Improvement is to be expected under the management of former Mali international centre-back Eric Chelle.

Madagascar have been improving over the last decade or so, reaching the quarter-finals of the 2019 CAF Africa Cup of Nations and winning six qualifiers for FIFA World Cup 2026 last year.

The Madagascans do face a tough test here in a group where a qualifying spot has already been taken by co-hosts Tanzania and a hard-fought Nigeria victory is to be expected.

Nigeria vs Madagascar Tip: Nigeria to win & under 3.5 goals
