Successful weekend for Super Eagles football players

Several Nigeria footballers were at their sharpest at the weekend. The Super Eagles, who play in major European leagues, have already found their goal-scoring touch, with players who are on Gernot Rohr’s radar producing fine performances as well. The likes of Samuel Chukwueze, Wilfried Ndidi, Anthony Ujah, etc. finding the net for their respective clubs. Yet another entertaining football weekend is ahead of us and it remains to be seen which Nigeria player will shine this time out.

Will Samuel Chukwueze extend his goal-scoring run at Osasuna?

Chukwueze’s Villarreal impressed against Real Betis

Villarreal quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Barcelona, with the team rolling over Real Betis 5-1 at their Estadio de la Ceramica on Matchday 7. Samuel Chukwueze came as a substitute for Moi Gomez in the 57^th minute of the match and put the game to bed in the stoppage time. The Nigeria international burst into the opposition’s penalty area following a brilliant solo run and fired a low shot on goal. After ricocheting in off the post, the ball went into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Samuel Chukwueze is set to return to the starting XI against Osasuna and seeing that the newcomers suffered a dip in form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Yellow Submarine. You should know that Javi Calleja’s men are 5/4 at bet365 to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash at Estadio el Sadar.

Ndidi and Foxes look unstoppable in Premier League

Wilfried Ndidi is enjoying a season to remember with Leicester City. The 22-year-old Nigerian midfielder has established himself as a first-team regular with the King Power Stadium outfit and, to make things even better for him, Wilfried Ndidi has been impressive in front of goal in the 2019/2020 Premier League season.

The Super Eagle scored his second goal of the season in Leicester City’s 5-0 win over ten-man Newcastle United, poking the ball into the back of the net after Jonny Evans headed it to him. Fellow Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho, who found the net in the League Cup game against Luton, was unused substitute in the clash against the Magpies.

Anyhow, Leicester City are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Liverpool and they are widely expected to extend their goal-scoring run in the English top flight. Brendan Rodgers’ troops are 6/10 at William Hill to find the net in the Anfield clash.

Other Super Eagles who scored at the weekend

Partizan summer signing Umar Sadiq has already started paying off. The 22-year-old Nigerian striker has already netted five goals for Savo Milosevic’s troops in the Serbian Super League this term, with the former Roma and Rangers man finding the net in the Europa League as well.

Sadiq scored a brace in Partizan’s 4-1 win at Radnicki Nis at the weekend and, no doubt, all eyes will be on him when the Serbian club face Astana in their second group game in the Europa League. Partizan have been in a splendid form of late and seeing that they outclassed their bitter local rivals Crvena Zvezda in the “Eternal Derby” last month, we predict that they are going to beat the Kazaks at Astana Arena on Thursday evening. Umar Sadiq’s team is 31/10 at LionsBet to beat Astana.

Speaking of Nigeria players in German Bundesliga, it has to be noted that Union Berlin attacker Anthony Ujah found the net in Union Berlin’s 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, with defender Jamilu Colins scoring for Paderborn in a 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munchen.

Anthony Nuatuzor, who plays for Turkish club Trabzonspor alongside John Obi Mikel, helped the Medical Park Stadyumu crush Besiktas 4-1 on Sunday.
