AH: Home -0.5@ 2.1010
Backing Niger with a –0.5 handicap reflects confidence that they should win this fixture outright, while not demanding an excessive margin. Given the expected home edge and Congo’s lackluster away form, this handicap offers a balanced risk-reward: if Niger win by one or more, full value; if draw or loss, the bet fails but downside is limited. It’s a clean way to back the home side while respecting the possibility of a tight match.
