AFCON: Nigeria vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction

EXPECTED XI

Nigeria

PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Uzoho; Aina, Ajayi, Bassey, Onyemaechi; Chukwueze, Onyeka, Iwobi, Lookman; Iheanacho, Osimhen

Equatorial Guinea

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Owono; Akapo, Fernandez, Coco, Ndong; Bikoro, Ganet; Salvador, Machin, Miranda; Nsue

PREDICTION

Victor Boniface's injury unquestionably poses a considerable setback for Nigeria. His remarkable goal-scoring form in the lead-up to this tournament, particularly alongside Osimhen, could have established the most formidable strike partnership in the entire competition. Although his absence increases the pressure on Osimhen, the Super Eagles boast a robust attacking lineup, and players like Iheanacho can contribute to compensating for it. In essence, Equatorial Guinea confronts a daunting task to achieve any positive outcome from this game, and Nigeria is anticipated to secure victory by a margin of at least two goals.
