Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-1
Nigeria
Following a 2-0 win over Central Africa, Nigeria will look to retain top position in Group C when they take on Liberia on Saturday afternoon. The Super Eagles are eyeing their fourth win of the process, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Lone Star. Experienced attacker Odion Ighalo returns to the squad, while Taiwo Awoniyi misses out.
A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen, who has netted eight goals in 16 appearances for the Nigeria national team. Liberia, on the other hand, failed to book their place at the 2022 World Cup finals. The rock-bottom side have nothing to play for in Saturday’s qualifier, and they are unlikely to spoil Nigeria’s party at Grand Stade de Tanger. When the two teams met in Lagos Nigeria defeated Liberia 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Victor Moses):
Over the years Victor Moses has established himself as one of the best African footballers. Moses was a first-team regular for Chelsea under Antonio Conte and he scored three goals in 28 appearances for the Blues in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign.

Moses played for the likes of Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United on loan as well. Speaking of his international career, the pacey winger played for Nigeria at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and he scored two goals for the Super Eagles in a 2-0 win over Ethiopia.

Highlighted Team (Nigeria):
Nigeria is an African national football team controlled by Nigeria Football Federation. The Super Eagles are well known for their green and white kits, but they played some descent football in the past as well. The Nigerians did well to qualify for six of last seven World Cup finals (as of 2018), with the team reaching the last six of the showpiece tournament three times.
Jay-Jay Okocha, Taribo West and Nwankwo Kanu are the most famous footballers that played for Nigeria. The Super Eagles played their first official match back in October 1949 while still a Brittish colony and it has to be noted that they were ranked 5th in the FIFA rankings in April 1994, which remains the highest FIFA ranking position ever achieved by a national team from Africa.
Speaking of the African Cup of Nations, Nigeria won the tournament on three occasions: 1980, 1994 and 2013, with the team finishing as runners-up in 1984, 1988, 1990 and 2000.
