Greece vs Nigeria World Cup betting

Probably not one of the World Cup highlights but that doesn't make it a bad betting opportunity. The toughest World Cup matches to call are those between the second best and third best teams in the group and this is exactly one of those, both teams are closely matched and have their strenghts and weaknesses.

Playing in Africa will give Nigeria a slight advantage for the match and when deciding what bet to have in this sort of game it is important to study the prices and see who stands out on value. It is safe to say Nigeria look the standout bet on that method so in a game where stakes should be kept fairly low, Nigeria are probably the call.

Greece vs Nigeria odds and tips

Nigeria just get the vote in this game, mainly down to their generous looking price, but a slightly better bet at less risk could be to back Nigeria +1 in the handcap market, that means you also have the draw in your favour and with Greece fairly unlikely to pick up all three points that looks a solid enough bet to start with. It would be a bit of a surprise if these two teams managed to score too many goals, Greece tend to look for 1-0 wins against better opposition, and under 2.5 goals is a good bet whichever way this game goes.

Greece have a decent goalscorer in the form of Theofanis Gekas and he is a threat to Nigeria and the most likely goalscorer, but it could pay to go with Spanish based Ikechukwu Uche to score the first goal of the game rather than Obafemi Martins who would also be rated a threat.


Greece vs Nigeria best bets

In a game where there are no brilliant bets it is best to play it safe and back Nigeria +1 for a very likely winner at a decent enough price. Nigeria have home advantage of a kind and Greece are probably slightly overrated due to winning their group in qualifying, which didn't look that hard given the opposition.
