Nigeria vs Congo prediction: a likely 1-1 draw.
Nigeria, bottom of their group, cannot progress even with a win.
Congo can advance with a win, especially if Sudan vs Senegal ends in a draw.

Nigeria vs Congo Predictions

Nigeria are slight favourites but a win will put Congo in a position to advance to the knockouts. I am backing this match to end in a draw.

Head to Head
Nigeria Form
Congo Form

Nigeria have lost their last 2 matches to nil.
Congo have drawn their last 2 matches.

Head to Head

Nigeria lead 6-2 in 11 matches against Congo. They have drawn three times.

Nigeria Form

Nigeria are bottom of Group D heading into the final fixture. They have lost both games thus far and even victory won’t see them progress.

The Super Eagles lost 1-0 to Senegal in their opening game before going down 4-0 to Sudan in the previous game. While the scoreline was heavy, Nigeria had the better of possession, but Sudan scored from every shot on target in the match.

Congo Form

Congo can still progress to the knockouts should they take the three points against Nigeria. They have drawn their opening two games and will leapfrog the loser of the Sudan vs Senegal game with a victory.

If there is a draw in the above-mentioned game and Congo win, it will go down to goal difference. Congo drew both games against Senegal and Sudan 1-1.

Verdict

Nigeria A v Congo A

I am backing this match to end in a 1-1 draw.
