Nigeria Youth vs Ivory Coast Youth

Nigeria will face on of their rivals Ivory Coast in the final group game with a place in the semi finals and a World Cup slot at stake. Ivory Coast are out and will play only for their pride. I have been very surprised with their performance and they have been one of the poorest teams at this competition. I wonder what the problem is because they are country that places lots of interest in youth football. I lost a fortune on Nigeria in their previous match as they were outplayed by the South African team which has been the revelation of the tournament.The Nigerians have themselves to blame as i feel they underrated the South africans and they were outplayed in every department of the game, outrun and outmuscled to the smaller South Africans. That notwithstanding the Nigerians are a very quality side, with the bulk of the team from the U17 world cup and African Cup winning squad. There is a lot at stake today for the Nigerians and anything apart from a win wont guarantee them a World cup slot and knowing the backlash they will face from Nigerian supporters they dare not fail. Considering all things i think the Nigerians will come out guns blazing and hammer the Ivorians who have nothing to play for except pride. I will be lumping big on Nigeria again and they better not fail me today else.....................

NIGERIA win
NIGERIA -1
NIGERIA clean sheet - that is if you can find such odds

SOUTH AFRICA vs EGYPT
The South Africans have been a revelation at this tournament, good passing, sound technical abilities, stamina but poor goal conversion. The Egyptians lifted their game against the Ivorians and won coming back from a goal down. South Africa needs a draw to top the group and qualify whilst Egypt has to win to stand a chance. Egypt are the host of the World Youth Cup to be held somewhere in September and they have a lot to do about their team. Any result is possible in this encounter and i cant pick anything. So i will rather leave it and put my all in Nigeria again. Since i enjoy lovely soccer i will be rooting for the South Africans but NO STAKES for me.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

i fancy egypt today, they are quite power in this level. they won championship in 2005 and were runners up in 2001. also played well in qualifiers. lost 0:2 against mighty nigeria in opener and then beat ivorians 2:1 after trailing by a goal.
they are in a must win situation and are worth a shot in 2.9.

Thanks Belkin, all bookies i bet with except BET-AT-HOME, do not have any odds at the moment. Belkin, please which bookie did you find the odd? I will be very grateful.

i cant see any odds anywhere mself. I'll be interested to know who's covering these games. thanks

Komp, Bet-at-home has odds on the matches but only for the match bets and double chance. I dont know why Bet365 has no odds as well as Sportingbet. I will still hang on hoping that they bring up prices for the event and also i will check out for live bets. The games kick off at 1330 GMT. For now i have just the 1.55 on Nigeria, i was hoping to get the handicap and stake huge since i think Nigeria will be out to hammer ivory Coast today. I will make do with what i have now from bet-at-home.
