Match Prediction for Sunshine Stars - Niger Tornadoes

Bookmakers see Sunshine as clear favorites against Niger, but I will bet on the plus handicap for the visitors, who have shown bright football in attack recently, scoring 2-3 goals since December. However, Niger has only scored 1 goal away in their last 5 matches. I will take a risk on Niger's handicap (+1).
