Head to Head

Nigeria Women Form


Nigeria played to a goalless draw against Algeria in their final Group B match, although they had already secured their place in the quarter-finals. 

Nigeria created opportunities to score against Algeria during their contest but had to settle for a share of the spoils after squandering their chances. 

Nigeria had 55% possession and 24 shots in the game, with two attempts on target.
Before that result, Nigeria beat Tunisia 3-0 and edged Botswana 1-0 in their opening WAFCON fixtures. 

Nigeria have recorded three victories in their last five matches, including two draws. They have scored seven goals and conceded one.

Nigeria have performed well in the competition thus far and are yet to concede a goal. However, they need to play well, as Zambia have been scoring regularly, although their opponents have a suspect defence.

Zambia Women Form


Zambia secured a narrow 1-0 victory over DR Congo last weekend, booking their place in the quarter-finals of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. 

Zambia dominated proceedings, taking the lead against DR Congo after only nine minutes of play, which was to be the winning goal. 

Zambia had 62% possession and 17 shots in the game, with four attempts on target.
Before that, Zambia drew 2-2 against Morocco and beat Senegal 3-2 in their previous Group A fixtures.

Zambia have won two of their last five matches, including one loss and two draws. They have scored seven goals and conceded seven.

Zambia have been in solid form during this WAFCON; however, they have been prone to leaking goals, which could be their undoing when they take on Nigeria in the quarter-finals.
