Nigeria vs Congo Predictions – All square in CHAN between Nigeria and Congo

Nigeria is slightly favored in the upcoming match against Congo, but both teams have something at stake. Nigeria, sitting at the bottom of Group D due to two losses, is unlikely to advance, even with a win. Conversely, Congo, having drawn their previous games, can progress to the knockout stage with a win, particularly if there's a draw in the Sudan vs Senegal match. A close contest is expected with a predicted 1-1 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

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