Brazil vs. Nigeria – Score prediction (13.10.2019)

Overview.

Brazil will be disappointed with their current winless run that now stretches across three matches (D2, L1), which includes Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Senegal that did at least see them open the scoring for the third time in four matches. However, they also conceded an equaliser before half-time in all three of those fixtures. In recent times, the South American side have struggled to live up to their free-flowing attacking reputation which has seen them score two goals or less in six of their previous eight fixtures. When they do score though, the goals tend to arrive in the first half – eight of their previous 13 have come before the break.

It hasn’t been a great run for Nigeria either who have won just one of their previous six matches (D2, L3 – 90 mins). They are consistent scorers however, netting at least one goal in all six of those fixtures, with five of their seven goals in that run arriving before half-time. What’s more, Nigeria have actually failed to score just four times in their last 22 internationals. Across their 11 fixtures so far in 2019, the ‘Flying Eagles’ have tended to remain busy in front of goal – averaging 4.7 shots on target per 90 minutes in that period. Additionally, they reduced their opponents to just 3.1 shots on target per 90 minutes at the other end of the pitch.
