A plac at the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals will be at stake when Nigeria and D.R. Congo face each other in the playoffs final at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah (Rabat, neutral location). Despite their fight with the Nigerian Football Federation, the Super Eagles proved their worth in a 4-1 win over Gabon and they are seen as favourites to win the decider as well. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, who scored a brace in the semis.
Meanwhile, Sevilla winger Chidera Ejuke is widely expected to return to the starting XI following his fine performance against Gabon. The Leopards, on the other hand, defeated Cameroon 1-0 in their semifinal, with Lille defender Chancel Mbemba scoring the winner in the stoppage time. Nigeria, though, are more of a team than D.R. Congo and we predict that Eric Chelle’s men are going to secure their spot at the 2026 World Cup finals. There are no fresh injury worries in Sebastien Desabre’s team.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 16 November 2025 at 19:00.
