The bookmakers see in the duel between the US and Nigeria according to current odds, the Africans slightly in the advantage.
USA U20 – Statistics & Current Form
USA U20 – Statistics & Current FormIn both 2015 and 2017, the US offspring each reached the quarterfinals of the U20 World Cup. Two years ago in South Korea, the USA failed to later Vice World Champion Venezuela on penalties. At that time, the group phase could be survived with five points and no defeat. Thus, there was not one defeat after 90 minutes at the U20 World Cup 2017. Long-time trainer Tab Ramos – who was co-head coach of the senior national team for a long time under Jürgen Klinsmann – suffered another defeat last Friday. In retrospect, however, this defeat may or may not be called completely unnecessary. Ukraine acted extremely destructively and left the US to the room. This optical superiority was reflected in the statistics, but the effectiveness in front of the goal left something to be desired.
Top striker Timothy Weah, son of former world-class striker George Weah, has been well insulated from the defensive over long stretches. The nine-time A-national player and legionnaire of Paris Saint-Germain let in some moments but again and again his big class flash. Together with the two wing players Konrad de la Fuente (who is only 17 years old) and Captain Paxton Pomykal, the offensive is certainly the big showpiece. Not for nothing the USA has always met in recent internationals. However, the defense is again and again to have goals. In this regard, between the US and Nigeria, a prediction on at least one goal for both teams is an interesting option. Above all, the US must seek the way forward, because with a second defeat, the round of 16 would be a long way off. Although four of the six best group thirds qualify, with two defeats, these chances are very low.

Nigeria U20 – Statistics & Current Form
The Africans were a hot candidate for an outsider’s tip before the tournament started. 1989 and 2005 reached the “Super Eagles” at the U20 World Cup each the final, the title succeeded the Africans but not yet. Qualifying Nigeria at the beginning of the year by the fourth place at the U20 Africa Cup. Despite fourth place Nigeria were higher chances than, for example, title holder Mali. The first match at the U20 World Cup in Poland seems to be confirmed by international experts, as head coach Paul Aigobun’s team beat 4 -0 against Qatar (reigning Asian runners-up). The statistics confirm the dominance of Nigeria (20 to 7 shots or 58:42% possession of the ball), but in many moments goalkeeper Olawale Oremade also had luck on his side. In addition, the Africans scored the hits in the right moments. Both before the 2: 0 and 3: 0 pushed Qatar on the goal, but could not reward for much effort.
In the squad of Nigerians, only nine legionaries are to be found. However, one looks in vain for players who could already make a name internationally. Players such as goalkeeper Francis Uzoho or winger Samu Chukwueze were not released for the U20 World Cup, but will play in the Africa Cup. Athletics is certainly one of the great strengths in the game of Africans. Nevertheless, Nigeria footballing certainly does not have the quality to fill the role as a hot outsider tip. The 4-0 draw against Qatar will certainly make an impression, but the game against the USA will actually be a test of endurance. Qualitatively, the two teams are quite on equal footing, accordingly, between the US and Nigeria a tip on the Africans at the current rates is not necessarily recommended.
