Thanks to a crucial victory in the last round against Rwanda (0-2), Nigeria have collected six points in five rounds, sitting four behind the leaders, South Africa. Despite a shocking start, they maintain chances of advancing directly from the group stage.
In their previous match, Victor Osimhen decided the fate of the encounter in the first half, scoring a brace. The visitors looked confident and, thanks to their solid defence, allowed Rwanda to produce only three goal attempts.
Ahead of Tuesday’s clash, Nigeria have no injury concerns. The squad are at optimal strength, and we expect the same starting lineup to feature against Zimbabwe.
Nigeria predicted lineup vs Zimbabwe (4-1-4-1): Nwabali; Aina, Bassey, Troost-Ekong, Osayi-Samuel; Ndidi; Simon, Iwobi, Lookman, Chukwueze; Osimhen.
Zimbabwe extended their winless run across all competitions to five matches, drawing 2-2 against Benin in the last round. The hosts were trailing 0-2 but equalized in the second half, though it was not enough to claim a victory.
The South-Central African team are obvious underdogs in the group, having grabbed only three points in five games. They currently sit sixth and, given their performance, are likely to finish in the bottom of the group.
Zimbabwe have all key players on the squad without any injury or suspension worries. Michael Nees will most likely trust the same starting lineup as he did with Benin.
Zimbabwe predicted lineup vs Nigeria (4-2-3-1): Arubi; Jalai, Garananga, Takwara, Lunga; Munetsi, Rinomhota; Musona, Billiat, Zemura, Dube.
Bet hereAfter a poor beginning in the group stage, Nigeria are gradually coming to their senses. The team qualified for the African Nations Championship, defeating Ghana in the final.
Afterwards, Éric Chelle’s men claimed a first victory (0-2) over Rwanda, which immediately became a big one. Zimbabwe are the prominent outsiders of Group C. They only scored three points in five rounds.
The difference in class is noticeable, and the hosts have a far better squad. Victor Osimhen is in excellent shape, having scored a brace in the previous match. We expect the home squad to win convincingly. Our first pick here would be Nigeria to win with a (-1.5) handicap.
It’s unlikely that Zimbabwe will only concede a single goal in this clash. Over five rounds during the group stage, they’ve allowed eight goals, while South Africa alone scored three against them.
Moreover, in front of their fans, the Nigerians will be motivated to deliver their best. Against Rwanda, Nigeria were significantly better and could have scored more, but they saved their energy for the upcoming fixture.
With such a powerful attack as the hosts, we think they’re unlikely to stop at a minimum advantage. Thus, our second pick for this match is for Nigeria to score over 1.5 goals.
