Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Niger Tornadoes 34%, the draw 34%, Ikorodu City 32%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.91 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 1.7 goals in total (0.89 for Niger Tornadoes, 0.85 for Ikorodu City), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Niger Tornadoes sit 8th on 16 points; Ikorodu City are 13th on 14.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
