All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Nigeria fixtures in the active window for 2025.
Nigeria are currently finishing at 42% — that's the share of their shots on target that beat the keeper. Above-average finishing without a matching xG signal usually regresses; pair this with shots/g and key passes/g to read whether the goals trend is sustainable.
