Nigeria -0.25 AH @ 1.86 Pinnacle 3/10
Yeh this price is now too high and despite Nigeria's problems I'd still say they have a decent chance of winning this match. Nigeria didn’t actually play too badly against the Ivory Coast, actually outplaying them in the first half before succumbing to an excellent Kalou goal. I do have my worries about their creativity at times, but now facing Mali it should be easier. To be honest I wasn't very impressed with Mali in their first match, only managing to beat Benin 1-0 and perhaps that was even a fortunate success. We have seen today just how bad Benin actually are, so now how will Mali do facing up to much stronger opponents? Nigeria need to win this game to get their qualification chances back on track and they have the ability. I wouldn't have backed them on a -0.5 AH because the fear of the draw is too high, but with 1.86 now offered on the -0.25 line, its impossible for me to resist.
