Nigeria played out a bore draw with Iran in their opening match of the tournament while tournament debutants Bosnia & Herzegovina put on a spirited display in the Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium as they ultimately went down 2-1 to Argentina.

Following an encouraging display from the World Cup new-boys against Argentina, Bosnia & Herzegovina go into this next tie with Nigeria as slight favourites to pick up the crucial three points, best-priced at odds of 17/20 with Coral. Nigeria can be backed to come away from this game with a win at best odds of 15/4 with Bet365, while Bet365 are also offering the best odds on a draw at 14/5.

Bosnia's star man, Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, was lively, though the chances didn't quite fall for him in front of the Argentinian goal on Sunday. Yet the man who bagged 10 of his nation's 30 goals in qualifying will be hoping to open his World Cup account against Nigeria. Dzeko is our pick to open the scoring, so for our first Nigeria v Bosnia & Herzegovina betting tip back Edin Dzeko for first goalscorer at best odds of 4/1 with Ladbrokes.

In contrast to their rivals for Saturday night's encounter, Nigeria will be feeling disappointed with their opening performance and frustrated that they were unable to break down minnows Iran. Despite having dominated the possession stats with 63%, the Super Eagles showed little urgency in attack and will be looking for a much improved display in their second game if they harbour realistic hopes of progressing to the knockout stages.

In Emmanuel Emenike the Super Eagles have a player capable of finding the net; the Fenerbahce  forward having had a prolific season for his club in the Turkish top flight, averaging a goal every other game, while he was joint top-scorer in last year's Africa Cup of Nations, helping propel Nigeria to victory. For our second Nigeria v Bosnia & Herzegovina prediction back Emmanuel Emenike as an anytime goalscorer at best odds of 4/1 with 888sport.

Finally, we've already seen seven penalties awarded at this World Cup, all of which have been scored. Bosnia & Herzegovina are 7/1 to score a penalty against Nigeria, and with the Super Eagles somewhat suspect defending, this could well be worth a stake. So for our final World Cup betting tip back Bosnia & Herzegovina to score a penalty at best odds of 7/1 with Bet365.
