Nigeria v Ghana Betting Tips [29 March 2022]

A cagey clash is expected when African giants Nigeria play host to Ghana in the return leg of their 2022 World Cup qualification clash. The tie is balanced at 0-0 from the first leg in Ghana and only this game stands between these two sides and a berth at Qatar 2022. Nigeria haven't done so well against Ghana in their recent meetings and they will hope for a change in this game. In their last two matches in the World Cup qualifiers they are winless and at home they’ve also failed to win. Their last two matches in this same competition. Nigeria havent scored in their last two matches and though they have three wins, and as many clean sheets in their last five matches, they haven’t beaten Ghana in the last four meetings. 

Ghana on the other hand, are winless in their last five matches ahead of this encounter. It hasn’t been a great spell for them, right from their performances at the 2021 AFCON and going into this clash, they’ve suffered three losses in five, failed to score in three and managed just one clean sheet in the process. They have conceded two or more goals in two of their last five matches but they have a better run in World Cup qualifiers. The Black Stars haven’t lost a World Cup qualification match in the last five outings and they have three clean sheets in that run, though the last four have all produced under 2.5 goals. They go into this game unbeaten in six matches against Nigeria, and having won three. In their last four matches against Nigeria, they haven’t conceded a goal.

Nigeria have the home advantage here but they have struggled at home in their last two games in the World Cup qualifiers. Ghana have struggled in their recent matches but have a good run in World Cup qualification. These two have drawn in their last three meetings, each of the games ending 0-0. It is hard to separate these sides based on recent form; a draw seems very likely here.
