Nigeria win over Guinea Bissau, Odds 1.80

Nigeria have a perfect opportunity to finish the group stage with a perfect record when they come up against a struggling Guinea Bissau from 10 PM EAT.

Bissau are yet to win a match so far having played to a barren draw with Sudan in the opening match before losing by a solitary goal to Egypt in the next.

The Super Eagles on the other hand have won their first two encounters – edging Egypt 1-0 in their first match before overcoming Sudan 3-1 in the next.

No team is yet to win all its three group stage matches in the ongoing AFCON and Nigeria have a perfect opportunity to achieve this tonight.

Tottenham win over Leicester, Odds 2.40

Leicester hosts Spurs at the King Power Stadium with the kickoff set for 2230 EAT. On the back of an EFL Cup exit at the hands of Chelsea, Spurs will be looking to bounce back.

Antonio Conte is yet to suffer a league defeat as Spurs manager and the London club can climb back into the top five of the English top-flight table with a victory, while Leicester sit 10th, having not played a league game since the turn of the year.

Leicester, managed by Brendan Rogers, sit 10th on 25 points from 18 matches, with no team outside of the bottom six conceding more than the 33 goals that they have shipped in league action.

They are eager to return to action in style by collecting the maximum points tonight.

Man United win over Brentford, Odds 1.94

 

Under pressure Manchester United travel away to Brentford in a game scheduled for a 2300 EAT kick off.

 

The Red Devils are currently seventh in the table, five points behind fourth-placed West Ham United, while Brentford occupy 14th position, 10 points clear of the relegation zone.

Brentford have won five, drawn nine and lost 10 of their 21 Premier League matches this season to collect 23 points, which has left them in 14th position in the table.

They won back-to-back games against Aston Villa and Port Vale in the league and FA Cup earlier this month but have lost their last two against Southampton and Liverpool in the league, conceding seven times in the process and scoring just once.

Man United enter the contest off the back of a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday night; the Red Devils took a two-goal lead at Villa Park courtesy of a brace from Bruno Fernandes but conceded twice in the latter stages to share the points with Steven Gerrard’s side.

The performance was arguably the team’s best since Ralf Rangnick’s took over but it was a further indication of their shortcomings, having been unable to hold off the pressure from the home side.

The Red Devils have picked up 32 points from their 20 matches, which has left them in seventh spot in the table, five points behind fourth-placed West Ham with two games in hand.

As group stage business at the Africa Cup of Nations draw to a close, leading gaming firm Mozzart Bet is serving up the biggest odds across all betting platforms in the world on Senegal, Morocco as well as English Premier League side Chelsea and Championship’s Fulham’s fixtures.

Group B joint leaders Senegal are huge favorites over play-off chasing underdogs Malawi when the Africa Cup of Nations rolls on in Cameroon on Tuesday evening.

Senegal, jointly with Guinea in group leadership hope to secure direct qualification with victory which would hoist them to seven points from three games. The Sadio Mane inspired Lions of Teranga have won once and drawn once in the group.

Malawi on the other hand lost to Guinea 1-0 in the opening game but rebounded strongly to trounce Zimbabwe 2-1 in their second group match.

Kick-off 19:00 EAT

Morocco win over Gabon. Odds, 1.80

Morocco are already qualified from the Group of Death. But the North Africans would want to top their group and earn a favorable draw in the round of sixteen.

Therefore, they will go all out for a third straight victory over controversy ridden Gabon who will not have their talisman Pierre Emeric Aubameyang’.

Gabon have four points from two games and need a single point from this fixture to guarantee progress.

Victory over Morocco would lift them top of the group but internal strife may cost them. Morocco are favorites to win this fixture and among tournament favorites.

Morocco have scored three times in the tournament but remain unblemished while Gabon have scored twice and conceded one goal.

Kick-off 22:00 EAT

Chelsea win over Brighton. Odds, 1.80

European champions Chelsea face a plucky Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Tuesday night after falling to runaway leaders Manchester City over the weekend.

The recent storm over Romelu Lukaku’s interview with Italian media is yet to settle and manager Thomas Tuchel is seeking results to quell the ensuing noise.

Brighton are placed 9th on the table and trail Chelsea by fifteen points but are not far off European places.

A good run of results could lift them to the Conference League positions and how best would they underline their credentials than by stirring inconsistent Chelsea’s teapot further?

Their league record is dismal having just two of their last ten games but the recent 3-2 triumph over Everton can spark a revival as they aim to get into thirty-point mark.

Chelsea on the other hand need to save face after falling thirteen point behind leaders Manchester City.

They are favorites tonight but will be made to work if they want all points. They have only won once in their last five games.

Kick-off 23:00 EAT

Fulham win over Birmingham, Odds, 1.30

Championship leaders Fulham seek to buffer their lead by five points when they host lowly Birmingham in English football’s 2nd tier tonight.

Fulham are favorites over their opponents who trail them by 21 points and are just a few above the dreaded relegation zone.

In twenty-five matches Fulham have banged in 64 goals while letting in just 21. Their opponents tonight are however, shy in front of goal, scoring a paltry 23 while leaky at the back having conceded thirty-three times.

Fulham hammered them 4-1 in the first leg and could run riot in the second to send a statement and of course create the much needed buffer.
