Nigeria take on Sudan in the African Cup of Nations round 2 at the Roumde Adija on Saturday, a win for the Super Eagles will guarantee them a place in the round of sixteen. Can Burhan Tia's men stop them from scoring?

They look promising against a decisive Egypt side and could go on to make it two wins in two matches as they face Sudan on Saturday afternoon.

After holding on to a first-half lead against the Egyptians, the Super Eagles looked sharp in front of goals, Kelechi Iheanacho gave Nigeria the lead after a lovely assist from Aribo. They had five shots on target and hit the post once in that encounter. They were certainly the decent side as the match ended in 1-0 in favour of Nigeria.

Having qualified for the world cup, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are ranked 36th in FIFA rating.

To be honest, I think they have some players who can cause dilemmas for any team in this tournament.

Extremely lucky to have come off with a point against Guinea Bissau, they look unorganised and they focused more on defending than attacking.

After a stalemate against Guinea Bissau, Sudan are now on an eleven games winless streak. The match against Guinea Bissau was a difficult one for them and they should be grateful luck was on their side. After conceding a penalty in the 83rd minute, Eshrein was awarded the man of the match for saving their blushes. Guinea Bissau hit the post twice and the match ended with points being shared.

Presently ranked 125th in FIFA World ratings, Guinea Bissau won't be participating in the world cup after coming second behind Morocco in the qualifications stage.

Key player: Abou Eshrein (goalkeeper)

• Both teams have met fourteen times and it was Nigeria who have won the most with eight wins, four draws and Sudan winning twice;
• Sudan are searching for their first win in eleven matches, having drawn five and lost six in the process.

After watching the match between Nigeria and Egypt, I'm pitching the Super Eagles of Nigeria to win the trophy. Sudan on the other side was very poor and were lucky to have come off with a point.

Nigeria to win first half for 1.72.

Nigeria are known for not scoring much, as they have scored a maximum of two goals in ten out of eleven matches, Nigeria to win and under 2.5 for 2.30.

Let's hope Kelechi can continue his fine start in the tournament. Kelechi to score for 2.36.
