Benin vs Lesotho Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Benin Match Odds Suggest Victory

The bookies have Benin at -179 when it comes to Full-Time Result. This implies that the favourites are 64% likely to win this World Cup qualifying encounter according to the latest betting odds. The +510 means that Lesotho are seen as having the lowest probability of succeeding.

There’s the chance to wager Benin at -100 on the Asian Handicap -1 market. This means a refund if they only win by one, although a 2+ goal victory over Lesotho would see a full payout.

Under 2.5 Goals is operating at the shortest price for those anticipating two or less goals. The Both Teams to Score No wager is -217 and it’s perfect if you anticipate that one side or more will fail to score by the full-time whistle.

If you’re wanting hundreds of football markets, then the good news is that the top betting sites can provide this. For any World Cup qualifying match, take your pick and hopefully find a winning angle.
