LIBERIA
Liberia’s hopes of qualifying for their first FIFA World Cup is probably out of reach. The Lone Stars are rock bottom of the group with a meagre 3 points from 4 games.
Playing their home games in Morocco, because the National Stadium in Monrovia did not meet the required standard has not helped the Liberians.
Liberia have scored two goals and conceded five in this qualification series. After beating Central African Republic in their second group game, the team lost the three games on the bounce. They lost the double header against Cape Verde and a friendly match against Egypt.
NIGERIA
Nigeria got their qualification campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Central African Republic, having lost to the same opponents in Lagos 1-0 in Lagos a few days earlier.
The Super Eagles have a formidable away record in qualifying, the team did not lose any away game on their way to qualifying for 2022 AFCON and have won their two away games in this series so far.
The Eagles will be looking to complete the double over fellow West Africans, having won the first leg 2-0 Nigeria courtesy of Kelechi Iheanacho’s brace.
Gernot Rohr’s team have garnered 9 points from 4 games, scoring six and conceding two goals in the process.
Nigeria are unbeaten in their last seven games against Liberia winning six, with another ending in a draw.

LIBERIA VS NIGERIA BETTING TIPS
The Nigerians are favourites to take all three points and we do not have any reason to think otherwise. Liberia has endured a torrid campaign and that is likely to continue when the Super Eagles come calling.
The Lone Stars will not be in front of their fans and that will play into the hands of the more experienced Nigerians. To this end, we are backing Nigeria to win at 1.26 on Bet9ja review.
The Eagles have made a habit of scoring on the road in this qualification series. They scored two against Cape Verde and Central African Republic respectively. Given how woeful the Liberians have been defensively, we expect that the Eagles will score twice in this fixture.The Eagles are priced at 1.54 on Bet9ja bonus.
