Nigeria will have to improve on their recent form if they want to be a real challenger in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) as they open their tournament against underdogs Tanzania. Nigeria qualified by topping Group D of the AFCON qualifiers with an impressive record (W3, D2, L1). They had the best defensive record of conceding just three goals, and with only 12 goals in their six matches, Nigeria havent enticed fans. The Super Eagles will be worried about their recent form, having failed to win any of their last three games during regular time (D1, L2). Those may have reduced the expectations, but Nigeria can set the ball rolling with a win here.

Nigeria possess a clear physical and technical advantage across all lines, especially in midfield power and wide attacking options. Their approach in international fixtures is often pragmatic: control possession, apply pressure selectively, and protect the defensive shape once ahead. Tanzania, meanwhile, are expected to sit deep, defend in numbers, and rely on discipline rather than open attacking play. This tactical contrast usually leads to controlled Nigeria victories, not high-scoring games. Odds Reading & Bookmaker Psychology The 1X2 home price of 1.39 offers no value and is a classic public bet. The real information lies in the AH -1/1.5 @2.05, which indicates uncertainty about Nigeria covering a two-goal margin. This suggests bookmakers expect resistance from Tanzania. The O/U 2/2.5 line further confirms this view. With both Over and Under priced close, the market expects goals but not a goal flood. Nigerias tendency to manage games once leading strongly supports a lower total.
