Nigeria vs Rwanda Prediction

Nigeria are unbeaten in their opening five matches with an impressive squad at both ends of he pitch despite interim coach Augustine Eguavoen being in charge of the Nigerians.

The Super Eagles come into this one on the back of a frustrating 1-1 draw against Benin in the neutral venue of Abidjan in the Ivory Coast. Prior to that draw, Nigeria had defeated Libya and Benin between a goalless draw against Rwanda with a walkover result against the Libyans, too.

Rwanda began their 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations with a 1-1 draw against Libya at the Tripoli Stadium in the Libyan capital before that aforementioned goalless draw against Nigerians and then a win against Benin with a defeat to Libya in the reverse fixture. 

Nigeria have an excellent array of attackers but have a defensive and disciplined style of football that make them a very difficult side to play against in the African continent.
