Form Guide
Nigeria
DWDWW
The Super Eagles failed to secure a direct route for World Cup qualification in a group they were expected to have been the biggest performers. As such, they're now participants of the play-off rounds despite winning their past two games in the run-in against Lesotho (2-1) and neighbours Benin Republic (4-0). They finished narrowly behind group leaders South Africa with a narrow one-point margin costing them their place. The four goals managed in their latest encounter helped the side confirm a fourth-place spot in the best second runner-up standings.
Gabon
WWDWW
Gabon come into this encounter in fine form just like they've navigated most of their qualification campaign. However, it's not proved to be enough with Ivory Coast securing the group's lone automatic qualification spot. The Ivorians navigated their group phase without conceding whatsoever and took a whopping 26 points, one more than Gabon. Over their last five games, the side have won four of them with the differing result coming in the goalless draw against Ivory Coast.
Prediction
Nigeria's Super Eagles have a slight advantage in terms of squad quality and should likely make that count.
What are the best odds for the game?
