Game Preview
Nigeria is set to continue their strong AFCON campaign against a shaky Guinea-Bissau, with the match set for Monday, January 22nd.
Despite failing to score a goal at all in this AFCON tournament, Guinea-Bissau still has a chance to advance to the knockout stages. Their final group game offers them the opportunity to progress, thanks to a 0-0 draw in their opening match of the event.
Guinea-Bissau faces a significant challenge as they aim to break their streak of 6 scoreless games. However, simply ending this run will not be sufficient for their progress in the tournament. They must overcome the formidable Nigeria, one of the favorites in the tournament, which is obviously not an easy task. This is particularly challenging for Guinea-Bissau, considering their overall inability to score in consecutive matches, even after going against a vulnerable Sudan team.
As for Nigeria, they had an exceptional beginning to this AFCON, securing 2 victories in their first 2 matches. As a result, they are guaranteed to finish at the top of their group, as the tiebreaker for rankings is determined by head to head results before goal difference. Despite Nigeria’s willingness to experiment in this match, their overall quality should be sufficient to enhance their impressive streak of 6 victories in their last 8 matches (including one draw and one loss).
We anticipate that Nigeria will secure at least a comfortable 2-0 victory in this match. However, we are also considering the possibility of both teams not scoring and ending this bout in a goalless draw. Mainly if Nigeria, as a precautionary measure, decides to safekeep their primary stars for the next stage of the tournament.
Nevertheless, it will always be a positive result for the world famous Super Eagles, who are poised not only to win this match but the entire tournament.
