Super Eagles Arrive in Guinea-Bissau for AFCON Qualifier

The Super Eagles landed in Guinea-Bissau on Sunday evening, preparing for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Guinea-Bissau scheduled for Tuesday. This follows their recent 2-1 comeback victory over Madagascar in their Group L opener.

The team arrived at the Aeroporto Internacional Osvaldo Vieira after completing a final training session at the International Stadium in Uyo. There is uncertainty regarding the number of players who traveled, as one forward was reported absent from the training session in Uyo, leaving his participation in the match unclear.

Both Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau won their opening qualifiers, making this match crucial for both teams aiming for back-to-back victories in Group L. The match will take place at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau, with kick-off scheduled for 5pm Nigerian time.

Football Meets Data has given the Super Eagles a 94.8% chance of qualifying for the tournament in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda next year.
