Nigeria vs Ghana: Analysis of the match
The Super Eagles have not particularly fared well against Ghana in recent years, as their most recent victory against the Black Stars was in 2006.
In spite of this, Ghana's recent form doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. They are currently on a five-match winless streak, with a 1-3-4 win-draw-loss record in their last eight matches.
This is in contrast with the Super Eagles, who won five of their last six games.
Nigeria vs Ghana prediction
The last six skirmishes between these teams went below the 2.5 goal threshold, and because of this, we are fairly confident that these teams will not score up to three goals between them.
