Nigeria vs Iceland Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

 by Valeria Di Meglio | in World Cup Prediction

Both Nigeria and Iceland are on winless runs in their last five matches; Nigeria have lost four and drawn one in the last five matches and they have notably been poor in both defence and attack in the five matches, conceding eight goals and scoring two. Nigeria have in fact, lost five of their last six matches and kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In their last 13 World Cup matches, they have won just once. When it comes to playing at the World Cup stage, Nigeria are more experienced than Iceland, this being the sixth World Cup tournament for the West Africans. They have played 19 World Cup matches, winning five. Iceland, who are ranked 22nd in the world, will not be bothered so much with Nigeria’s experience at this level, especially after standing their ground against Lionel Messi and Argentina. They pulled big shocks in Euro 2016, beating Austria and England but ahead of this game they need to improve, after a run of two draws and three losses in their last five matches, scoring six goals and conceding 12. Just like Nigeria, Iceland also have two clean sheets in their last 10 matches and have lost four in the process.

Our Nigeria vs Iceland Prediction

Both sides will be keen on getting a win to kick start their campaigns, but Nigeria, with no goal or point, have their backs against the wall. They know a loss will end their hopes and will thus go out to attack. They have not been so good defensively and knowing Iceland’s prowess, the African may want to play a very cautious game. While Nigeria have conceded eight in their last five, Iceland have conceded four more in the same run. Maybe this could be the pointer that this match has goals in store and going by Iceland’s goal returns in the last five, backing them outscore Nigeria could be a realistic bet.
