Congo still have a window of opportunity at the African Nations Championship (Chan), which they’ll explore as they face Nigeria this Tuesday. The two nations are squaring off in Group D, Congo being third and Nigeria bottom. We have a prediction for the match below.
Nigeria’s fourth appearance at the competition has been disastrous. They are yet to pick up a point and go into matchday three already eliminated. The Super Eagles fell 1-0 to Senegal in their opening match.
When expected to rise, it was even worse, as they lost 4-0 to Sudan. Twice in their three appearances, Nigeria got to the semis. They were actually finalists in 2018 but can only play for pride now.
Congo have managed two points from their opening two matches; 1-1 draws with Senegal and Sudan. Now nothing but a win here can see them progress. This remains a tight group for the top three, though.
A Congo win will mean the loser between Senegal and Sudan gets eliminated. If the leading two sides end it in a 0-0 draw, Congo will qualify with a win, and defending champions Senegal will exit.
Whatsoever comes of the day, Congo have to win to progress. However, only two wins in their last 10 matches mean Congo could be frustrated in this fixture.

Our Nigeria vs Congo Republic Prediction
Congo are making a fifth appearance at this competition, and their target is trained on a third quarter-final showing. That will not happen if they don’t win this match. It should send down the Congolese side some jitters, as they haven't won a lot lately.
Four of their last seven matches were drawn. Nigeria have also not won a lot and are only playing here for pride. This, on paper, looks like a match where spoils will be shared. Our prediction for Nigeria v Congo is for a draw.
