Nigeria vs Sao Tome and Principe prediction
This weekend, the Super Eagles will trade tackles with Sao Tome, in one of the AFCON qualifying fixtures across the continent. Having already secured a place at next year’s mundial, the 3 time African Champions will be looking to wrap up this phase on a winning note before turning their attention to the main tournament in January 2024. Although this is a dead rubber fixture for Nigeria, Jose Peseiro will be keen on getting all 3 points and build his side’s confidence given how underwhelming they have been under him. This would go a long way in reassuring the NFF that the Portuguese’s contract renewal was not a mistake.
Meanwhile, Sao Tome have nothing to play for following what has been a dismal run in the qualifying series. So far they have been the whooping boys of the Group, losing 4 out of 5, with a goal difference of -17. This means other than saying farewell to their fans away from home and hoping to score a consolatory goal, Sao Tome have nothing else to fight for in Uyo this Sunday.
Nigeria’s firepower upfront, the home advantage and Sao Tome’s lacklustre defence sets this up for a comfortable win for the Super Eagles. To this end, for our Nigeria Vs Sao Tome prediction, we recommend you back the home team to clinch all 3 points.

Main tip: Nigeria Win
Our Nigeria vs Sao Tome
According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:
Prediction 1: Nigeria Win
The Super Eagles are far more experienced and have more quality than Sao Tome. The fact that Sao Tome have only managed to pick a draw in 5 qualifying matches as against Nigeria’s 4 wins and 1 draw, makes it clear that the 3 time AFCON winners are clear favorites to clinch all 3 points in this game. Based on this, we expect a comfortable outing for Peseiro’s men and we are backing them to win this match.

Prediction 2: Nigeria Score Both Halves
The Super Eagles boast of a strong forward line that has Victor Osimhen, Boniface, Gift Orban, Demola Lookman, Taiwo Awoniyi and co. This indicates how much of a long day the Sao Tome defence will have while trying to contain the threats posed by these players. In addition, the reverse fixture ended 10-0 to Nigeria, meaning we can expect another demolition here. Therefore, using Melbet’s odd of 1.44, we believe there will be a goal in both halves for Nigeria.

Prediction 3: HT/FT, Nigeria/Nigeria
Although the Super Eagles have not been at their best under Peseiro, it is hard to see Sao Tome standing in their way at any point in this game. The goal scoring prowess of the strikers, the noise from the crowd and the confidence from beating Sao Tome 10-0 in the reverse fixture make this a potential all Nigeria affair. Hence, we are backing the Eagles to lead at half time and win at full time
