How to Watch Benin vs Nigeria For FREE: TV Channel & Live Stream for Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier

The international break is here again with a lot of exciting and interesting matches as we enjoy some of our foreign and local players participating on their home soil. On Thursday this week, Nigeria will take on Benin Republic in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny. The Super Eagles are just one point away from securing their spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco. Here in this article, you will find out when and where you can watch the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on the Cheetahs of the Benin Republic.

• Stadium: Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny
• Referee: Issa Sy
• Time: 20:00 WAT
• Date: Thursday, 14th November, 2024

Benin are very close to making a great return to the AFCON tournament after missing the last two editions. The Cheetahs sit behind the Super Eagles of Nigeria on six points from their opening four qualifying matches. Their form in the qualifying round has been inconsistent, as they have only recorded one win, which was their opening home game against Rwanda. They ended their two consecutive losses with a much-needed home draw against Togo in their last outing. 

On the other hand, Nigeria will be hoping to seal at least a draw against Benin, which would automatically seal their spot in Morocco 2025. The Super Eagles were awarded all three points by CAF after being held hostage in the old Libyan airport for almost a day. They have remained unbeaten in all of their qualifiers played so far and are favorites in the betting world to win this match against Benin. 

Benin predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Dandjinou (GK); Moumini, Hountondji, Tijani, Kiki; D’Almeida; Dossou, Dokou, Imourane, Olaitan; Mounie

Nigeria predicted lineup (3-4-3): Nwabali (GK); Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Bassey; Aina, Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyemaechi; Chukwueze, Boniface, Lookman

We consider Nigeria the favorite to win the match even if the Super Eagles were beaten 2-1 in their previous meeting with Benin. The Super Eagles will be hoping for revenge, especially with the return of lethal forward Osimhen, alongside the in-form Lookman, as they look to seal their spot in the qualifying round. We also consider both teams to score options. 

Below are some of the notable TV channels that will broadcast the match live.

The game will be broadcast for free on FIFA+ or the CAF website, and designated YouTube channels will also stream the game.
