Introduction
The Africa Cup of Nations Group A concludes on Monday, revealing which teams will advance to the next stage. Nigeria is leveled on point, with Equatorial Guinea at the top of the group with four points, while Guinea-Bissau struggles at the bottom.
They are yet to secure a point in the tournament after losing to Ivory Coast and Equatorial Guinea. They will likely face an early exit on Monday, irrespective of the scoreline.
About the game
Guinea Bissau, deemed the weakest in the group, faced defeats in both opening matches. Initially, lost 2-0 to Ivory Coast, followed by a 4-2 defeat against Equatorial Guinea five days later. With two challenging matches, the prospect of advancing to the knockout phase is slim for Baciro Cande’s team. Their performance, notably in defense, has been lacking. Despite the odds, they might prioritize getting at least one point in the upcoming match against Nigeria to exit the tournament positively.
Nigeria, with a rich history of three Africa Cup of Nations triumphs, aims to revive national pride. Their most recent title dates back to 2013, and the team is eager for success once more. Having accumulated four points in the initial two matches, Nigeria stands on the verge of qualifying for the knockout phase. In the opening game, they drew 1-1 with Equatorial Guinea, followed by a surprising 1-0 victory against Ivory Coast.
In their game with the host, Jose Peseiro’s team adopted a more defensive approach to soak pressure from the Ivorians and hit them back on the counter. The attack was spearheaded by the trio of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Samuel Chukwueze, all plying their trade in the Italian Serie A.
