Nigeria 2010 World Cup Team

Nigeria Football Team Profile & Form

Nigeria qualified for the 2010 Football World Cup by winning CAF qualifying group B. The Nigerian football team’s opposition in this group wasn’t made of the sternest stuff, with Tunisia the only team to provide the Super Eagles with a serious challenge. Nevertheless, the Nigerians will feel well satisfied with completing qualification without losing a match.

Nigeria’s form outside of qualifying has also been satisfactory. The Nigerians beat France in St Etienne, and also achieved draws with Ireland and Jamaica. This team has a knack of producing during the World Cup, and given its power and depth, should have the ability to secure a place in the knockout rounds of the tournament.

Nigeria World Cup Betting Tip

Nigeria are trading around the 100/1 mark at most online bookmakers. This is a definite failure by the bookies to value to the Nigerians accurately, and you can expect these odds to dip significantly during the course of the 2010 Football World Cup. We therefore suggest a back bet on Nigeria now, then laying them at lower odds during the course of the tournament.
