Niger has slightly better offensive output (1.2 avg scored) but similar defensive weakness (1.0 conceded). Both teams show 50% O2.5 rates and 17% clean sheet rates. Market heavily favors Under 2.5 (61% fair), reflecting both teams' defensive fragility paradoxically leading to low-scoring outcomes. Home advantage in friendlies is modest but real. Benin's recent draw streak and home venue give slight edge; Niger's recent win vs Congo is isolated. Low confidence due to sparse data and friendly match volatility.

Benin home advantage and recent draw streak provide slight edge; market at 46% fair is reasonable but home venue worth ~0.3 goals.

Benin BTTS rate 67% but Niger only 50%; combined weak defenses paradoxically support low-scoring pattern (both teams 17% CS rate suggests defensive solidity in recent matches).

Market fair 61% Under is well-supported; combined avg goals (0.8+1.2=2.0) plus 66-day layoff suggests low-scoring friendly.

Home draw or win covers 72% fair probability; safer than backing away outright given home venue and recent draw tendency.
