THE PREDICTION

Gernot Rohr’s Nigeria have an exciting generation of players coming through that will sincerely believe the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup are an aim. The Super Eagles’ attacking talent is seemingly endless with Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon, Paul Onuachu, Victor Osimhen, Peter Olayinka, Samu Chukwueze and Emmanuel Dennis all playing and scoring regularly across Europe. They started the second round of qualification with back-to-back victories last month and now come up against a Central African Republic side that started with a win and a draw in their opening two matches. Nigeria will come into this as the relatively comfortable favourites.
