Senegal vs Nigeria prediction

The closest Nigeria have come to winning the African Nations Championship was in 2018 when they finished runners-up after losing 4-0 to Morocco in the final. Senegal however, were victorious back in 2023, lifting the trophy after a dramatic penalty shootout win following a 0-0 draw. The Lions of Teranga are expected to be in with a chance of success once again this time around.

When assessing the two squads, Senegal looks like it may have that extra touch of domestic quality, but Nigeria possesses a genuine attacking threat and are not to be underestimated. Whilst backing Senegal has to be favoured, only do so via the safety of the draw no bet market.
