Prediction: 2-0
Central Africa
Nigeria play host to Central Africa at their Teslim Balogun Stadium in the Group C round 3. The Super Eagles aim to keep their 100% record in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers intact, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s football match. Fit-again Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while both Okoye and Omeruo should be cautious as the duo is one yellow card away from suspension.
Les Fauves, on the other hand, have yet to record a win in the process. Following a 1-1 draw with Cape Verde, Central Africa suffered a 1-0 loss to Liberia in their second group game. Anyhow, Raoul Savoy’s troops will have a big fish to fry in the Teslim Balogun Stadium showdown. It has to be noted that the two national teams have never met before in a competitive match.
