On Saturday, 6th of September, Nigeria would face Rwanda in our World Cup qualifying match. The first leg in Rwanda, ended in a 2-0 victory for the Super Eagles, that is sadly our only victory in the qualifiers so far.
That said, what are your score predictions for this match? The venue is the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, and i am sure the stadium will be filled to capacity, with fans cheering on the Super Eagles. It is a must-win game, if we fail to win, we can kiss our chances of playing in the 2026 WC goodbye. My prediction is a 2-0 victory for the Super Eagles, same result as the first leg away from home.
As usual, the gate will be wide open for fans to troop in and support the Super Eagles. If not for the free entry, I guess many Nigerians would not want to waste their resources to go and watch a team that has been disappointing us. As a Nigerian, I will give them full support, at least let them keep fighting till the end. But my expectations a low because the Nigerian side is not at its best. My predictions is 3-0 in favour of the Super Eagles.
I so much love how they arrange this particular game between the Super Eagles of Nigeria vs Rwanda, making it free and we all know how many of these kind do end, always end in favor of Nigeria. But is painful to know that the 2nil against these guys Rwanda is the only win we have had in this qualifiers and now is going to be difficult for the Eagles because Rwanda are ready to hold on to a draw since they know that the Super Eagles are going to be under pressure and even the fans can't help in any way except the Eagles start making the game hard for the visitors by not allowing them hang on the ball for more than 30secs, instead let the pressure be on them [Rwanda], getting an early goal to shut the visitors up, that will help and is not about the fans crowding the stadium that will help this time around, the ball game have changed completely.
