Madagascar's Raveloson Confident Against Nigeria in AFCON Qualifier

Rayan Raveloson, a midfielder for the Madagascar national team, has stated that the Barea are not intimidated by the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match. The encounter is scheduled for Friday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Raveloson, who currently plays for Turkish club Amedspor, expressed optimism about their chances against Nigeria, emphasizing that both teams are made up of humans and that they are capable of causing an upset. Historically, Madagascar has had success against Nigeria, having defeated them 2-0 in their last meeting during a group game at the 2019 AFCON finals in Egypt.

The Super Eagles are considered overwhelming favorites due to their pedigree and the perceived gap in class between the two teams.
