APWin Prediction

No BTTS 2nd Half

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Egypt to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Egypt vs Nigeria, where we have Egypt to win the first half as our best bet.

Egypt has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Egypt taking an advantage into half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

According to our projections for Egypt vs Nigeria, this is a match where we can find a good deal of value in the corner market.

With little offensive action anticipated from the two sides, our best tip is to take the under on 9.5 corners. That means 9 total corners or fewer throughout the match will win the bet.
