    Nigeria vs Guinea Bissau MATCH PREVIEW | AFCON Qualifier Preview

    Nigeria face Guinea-Bissau in their second AFCON 2027 qualifier, with the Super Eagles looking to make it two wins from two after a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Madagascar in Uyo.George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor were the heroes against Madagascar, with both new Super Eagles coming off the bench to score on their international debuts. Two players Nigeria Football Weekly has championed for some time now have announced themselves on the international stage — but can they build on those impressive debuts against Guinea-Bissau?The Djurtus also made a statement in their opening game, beating AFCON 2027 co-hosts Tanzania 2-0 away from home. With Tanzania already guaranteed a place at the tournament, only ONE team from the remaining three sides in Group L will qualify, meaning Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar are effectively fighting for a single ticket.Nigeria also have a strong historical record against Guinea-Bissau, winning three of their four previous meetings. However, Guinea-Bissau have already shown they can cause problems for the Super Eagles, famously beating Nigeria 1-0 in Abuja during the 2023 AFCON qualifiers before Nigeria won the return fixture 1-0 in Bissau.Olu previews Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria, looks at the threat posed by the Djurtus, the significance of this match in the race for AFCON 2027 qualification and whether Ilenikhena and Moses Usor can make another impact for the Super Eagles.#supereagles #NigeriaFootball #Nigeria #AFCONJoin as a member today: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbEAS-WbghdS_BFYk_66B7A/join Listen to the audio version of the podcast for free on all major podcast platforms here: https://podfollow.com/nigeria-football-weekly/view or https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Check out our website: nigeriafootballweekly.com Follow Nigeria Football Weekly:Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nigeriafootballweekly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Linktree - https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Email - olu@nigeriafootballweekly.comCHAPTERS
