Nigeria have been regular participants at World Cup finals from the CAF region and on Friday they start yet another journey through qualification when they host Liberia in Group C. The hosts go to this game unbeaten in their last seven competitive matches, but their most recent outing ended in a 4-0 thrashing by Mexico in a friendly. They have no win in their last three matches, all friendlies but they have three clean sheets in the last five games. Nigeria boasts a run of 36 matches unbeaten in World Cup qualifiers and they carry to this game six straight wins at home in the qualifiers. They are unbeaten in their last five matches against Liberia, winning four of them.

Liberia have had a poor run coming to this game; in their last outing, they suffered a 5-1 loss to Algeria. That was in June, and it marked a fourth loss in their last five matches, with their only win in that run being against Libya in a friendly match. Liberia have failed to score in three of their last five matches and will hope for a better outing when taking on Nigeria, having lost 6-1 in the last meeting between the two nations. They also don’t have a great run in World Cup qualifiers, with three wins and six losses in the last 10. It is worse away from home, the team managing just one win in the last 15 World Cup qualification matches.
