Nigeria World Cup 2018 Odds: An Overview

Although the World Cup 2018 doesn’t officially start until the 14^th of June, many UK and international bookmakers are already offering various different Nigeria World Cup 2018 odds, including the odds on Nigeria to win World Cup 2018.

These odds not only give you a chance to make some profitable, yet risky, wagers, but they also allow you to gain insight into how the bookies and the world in general think Nigeria will perform in the competition.

All of the odds mentioned below have been created by taking an average from the most popular UK bookmakers.

Odds on Nigeria to Win World Cup 2018

As the table above shows, the odds on Nigeria winning 2018 World Cup currently stand at around 200/1, meaning that the bookies think that a Nigerian triumph is very unlikely. Considering Nigeria’s previous World Cup history and the tough competition they face in the group stages, we think this is an entirely reasonable prediction and so we would advise you to refrain from backing Nigeria to win World Cup 2018 odds.

That being said, whilst the odds Nigeria win World Cup 2018 do not look promising, we do think that the other ‘Stage of Elimination’ wagers on Nigeria are very interesting and could be very profitable.

Almost all of the Nigeria World Cup odds have remained valuable, which means that even the bookmakers are finding it difficult to predict where the team may finish in the tournament.  This gives you the perfect opportunity to attempt to beat the bookies, yet you’ll need to act fast as the odds could shorten significantly once the group stages begin.
