Alot is at stake for the Zimbabwean - their government has put a bounty pool on the game against Nigeria; I'm hearing $10k per player if they manages to beat Nigeria in Akwa Ibom this week. That's enough motivation for them.
We haven't won against Zimbabwe since 2019 hope we can change that this week and maybe move to the 2nd place if Benin Republic loses to South Africa.
I wouldn't have known this was the situation if I didn't read your post. At over 12/1 this certainly seems to put the value money on Zim... add your bounty news and this is motivation of the highest order. Hard to bet on Nigeria unless it's a padder for... say SA. Me gone and done just that now.
