On Tuesday, Fez Stadium will be the theater of dreams as Nigeria takes on Tanzania in the opening round of the Africa Cup of Nations. With a temperature of just 5°C and overcast clouds, the weather could play a significant role in this highly anticipated encounter.

Nigeria, the bookmaker’s favorite, has been in mixed form recently but remains a powerhouse in African football. Tanzania, despite a new coach from Argentina, has struggled to find their footing, winless in their last six matches in this competition. Given Nigeria’s superior form and Tanzania’s struggles, expect a high-scoring affair. The betting tip leans towards over 2.5 goals.

Match Facts

  • Tanzania has not won in 6 consecutive matches in this competition.
