➤ Nigeria vs Zimbabwe Match Preview
Nigeria will arrive on their home soil on the back of an impressive 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali, thanks to a wonderful performance from the team to record their first win in the qualifier. The Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen produced yet another fantastic scoring form as he scored a brace in the game, with the goals moving Osimhen into sole second in Nigeria's all-time scorer's list on 25, two clear of the legendary Segun Odegbami. The Super Eagles will now hope to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in the qualifying round as they now sit in fourth place in Group C of this competition.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe has only managed three points from their first five matches, leaving them at the rock bottom of the Group C qualifying table. The Warriors come into the encounter following a fightback from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home against Benin. They are now winless in their last five matches across all competitions. However, the last time the two teams met in the first leg on November 19, 2023, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Zimbabwe taking the lead in the 26th minute through a stunning free kick by Walter Musona before Kelechi Iheanacho equalized in the 67th minute. So we expect both teams to fancy their chances in this game, but the Super Eagles are the clear favorites to win the game in the betting world.
