Bet Of The Day July 27 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Matildas have won 10 of their last 11 games
Matildas have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last eight victories
Nigeria have failed to score in five of their last six losses
Nigeria have failed to score in six of their last seven World Cup games
Nigeria only managed one shot on target & had 32 per cent of possession vs Canada in their first game

We’re off to the Women’s World Cup for today’s best bet as the Matildas look to secure their ticket into the knockout stages when they face Nigeria at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

Australia can lock down their spot in the R16 by taking all three points and we’re confident they can get the job done tonight.

We can get some good value for the Matildas to win this game to nil.

While the Aussies looked a bit patchy in attack in their opening win over Ireland, their defence has been outstanding for the better part of the last year.

Indeed, the Matildas have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last eight victories – so when they win, the opposition rarely finds the back of the net.

Nigeria also doesn’t inspire confidence.

The African nation may have registered a 0-0 draw with Canada in their first game of the tournament, but they only had one shot on target for the entire match, while they also had just 32 per cent of possession.

Nigeria were forced to save a penalty in that fixture too, so those types of numbers aren’t sustainable in the long run.

Nigeria have failed to score in five of their last six defeats and in six of their last seven World Cup games. In short, they get outclassed by the superior teams.

The Matildas should be better for the run after the Ireland victory, so backing the Aussies to make it two wins from two and keep a clean sheet in the process.
