Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria: All you need to know about crucial 2027 AFCON qualifier

Nigeria will face what is probably their toughest test so far in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series when they travel to Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday evening.

Both teams picked up three points from their opening matches.

The Super Eagles beat Madagascar 2-1, while the Djurtus defeated AFCON co-hosts Tanzania 2-0.

This means their clash in Bissau will be a fight for early leadership in Group L.

With Tanzania already guaranteed a spot at the tournament, Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar are competing for the only remaining qualification spot.

Over the past four meetings between the two sides, Nigeria have won three, while the Wild Dogs have recorded just one victory.

The match will be played at the 15,000-capacity Estadio 24 de Setembro, with kick-off scheduled for 4pm GMT.
