Nigeria welcome Tanzania to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium as the two nations prepare to lock horns on matchday three of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification Group L. The two nations have met on previous occasions, with Nigeria dominating this fixture. With four of their last five meetings ending with under 2.5 goals, our prediction is a Nigeria win and under 2.5 goals.
Nigeria enter this clash in poor form with just one win from their last five matches across all competitions (D2, L2). Their recent clash was a thrilling 3-3 draw against Russia in a friendly international.
The Super Eagles now turn their attention to the Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign. It was a perfect start at first, with the team securing a 2-1 home victory over Madagascar.
However, they couldn't build on that momentum in the second round, suffering a 3-0 away defeat to Guinea-Bissau. This has left them three points adrift of the top spot in Group L.
Nigeria may be short of confidence, but Tanzania arrive in Uyo with even greater concerns over their form. The Taifa Stars have a 1-5-9 record in their last 15 games across all competitions.
Of those setbacks, two have come in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign, where they've gone two outings without a win. Their most recent match was a 1-1 away draw to Madagascar.
