Nigeria face Zimbabwe in London after an impressive AFCON 2026 campaign, finishing third and going unbeaten in their last nine matches over 90 minutes. The Super Eagles have shown defensive strength with four consecutive clean sheets and are tipped for a 2-0 win to nil. Zimbabwe, while earning respect for qualifying, failed to win a match in their group and exited early. This fixture serves as important preparation for Nigeria ahead of World Cup qualifying, with the recommendation backing the Super Eagles for a solid result.

Nigeria vs Zimbabwe Predictions


Nigeria will still be reeling from the fact that they failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in a couple of weeks' time. However, this fixture, as ones to follow, will be used to best prepare them for the next qualifying campaign starting later this year.

Stats


  • Nigeria finished 3rd at the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Nigeria kept 4 clean sheets in their last 4 AFCON 2026 matches.
  • Nigeria have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • Nigeria are unbeaten in their last 9 matches in 90 minutes.
  • Zimbabwe failed to win a match at the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria Form


Nigeria may not have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but their form has been outstanding this year. They are unbeaten over 90 minutes in their last nine matches, which included a run to the semi-final of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

The Super Eagles beat Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda in group stage to advance top of the group. They scored eight goals in those three group games, conceding three (one in each match).

Nigeria tightened up at the back, thereafter, beating Mozambique 4-0 in the last 16, Algeria 2-0 in the quarter-final before going out on penalties to Morocco in the semi-final following a 0-0 draw. In the third-place match against Egypt, it ended 0-0 again, but this time the Super Eagles won the shootout.

Zimbabwe Form


Zimbabwe did very well to qualify for the 2026 AFCON tournament and while they did not progress from the group stage, did enough to earn plenty of respect.

In a very competitive group, Zimbabwe lost 2-1 to Egypt before a 1-1 draw with Angola. In their final match, Zimbabwe lost 3-2 to South Africa in a pulsating fixture.

Verdict

I am backing Nigeria to win to nil in London. 2-0 is by correct score tip.
