Benin vs Nigeria Match Preview
Benin are very close to making a great return to the AFCON tournament after missing the last two editions. The Cheetahs sit behind the Super Eagles of Nigeria on six points from their opening four qualifying matches. Their form in the qualifying round has been inconsistent, as they have only recorded one win, which was their opening home game against Rwanda. They ended their two consecutive losses with a much-needed home draw against Togo in their last outing.
On the other hand, Nigeria will be hoping to seal at least a draw against Benin, which would automatically seal their spot in Morocco 2025. The Super Eagles were awarded all three points by CAF after being held hostage in the old Libyan airport for almost a day. They have remained unbeaten in all of their qualifiers played so far and are favorites in the betting world to win this match against Benin.
Benin vs Nigeria Match Predicted Lineup
Benin predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Dandjinou (GK); Moumini, Hountondji, Tijani, Kiki; D’Almeida; Dossou, Dokou, Imourane, Olaitan; Mounie
Nigeria predicted lineup (3-4-3): Nwabali (GK); Ajayi, Troost-Ekong, Bassey; Aina, Ndidi, Iwobi, Onyemaechi; Chukwueze, Boniface, Lookman
Benin vs Nigeria Match Prediction
We consider Nigeria the favorite to win the match even if the Super Eagles were beaten 2-1 in their previous meeting with Benin. The Super Eagles will be hoping for revenge, especially with the return of lethal forward Osimhen, alongside the in-form Lookman, as they look to seal their spot in the qualifying round. We also consider both teams to score options.
