A Must-Win Encounter for Nigeria

With three consecutive draws in their opening matches, Coach Finidi George's men desperately need a win to reignite their World Cup qualification hopes. Currently sitting in fifth place, a victory against Benin, who are second with four points, would be a significant boost in the group standings.

Despite their advantage in points, Benin haven't had a smooth run either. The Cheetahs, coached by former Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr, will be looking to exploit Nigeria's shaky start and potentially climb to the top of the group with a win.
