Seven-time African champions Nigeria U20 have advanced to the round of 16 at the 2025 U20 World Cup. The Flying Eagles will be up against Argentina, and below we have a prediction for the match.
Argentina will have the advantage of having had more rest after completing their group stage assignments earlier. The most successful team in the U20 World Cup circuit now hopes to move closer to title number seven.
They were one of two nations to collect maximum points at the group stage with wins against Italy, Australia, and Cuba. That run marked 11 matches unbeaten for the Argentines.
This tie is a repeat of the 2005 final, which Nigeria lost 2-1, and they will be seeking to go ahead in the head-to-head records against Argentina. The two nations met in 2023, and Nigeria served their revenge in a 2-0 win.
While Argentina had a swift pass through the group stages, Nigeria had to qualify as one of the best-ranked third-place teams. A 1-1 draw with Colombia to wrap up their first-round assignments ensured they hit four points.
The Flying Eagles settled second among the best four third-placed finishers. With only three wins in the last 10 matches, Nigeria come here as underdogs. The winner here will advance to face either hosts Chile or Mexico in the quarters.

Our Argentina -20 vs Nigeria -20 Prediction
Nigeria were on the brink of elimination before rising to a 1-1 draw with Colombia in their final group game. The Flying Eagles may not be pleased at their group stage effort but will have room to rectify. They seek to better their two runners-up finishes earlier in this competition, but here they face what could be their toughest outing yet.
Argentina are one of the best-performing teams here and feel they can end their U20 title drought. However, the South Americans are struggling to keep clean sheets. Our prediction for Argentina v Nigeria is for Argentina to win and both teams to score.
