Nigeria will take on Rwanda in the final game of their AFCON qualifier, but for the Super Eagles, it will be a match to end the campaign on a high, having already secured qualification for the AFCON last week.
Despite sealing the top spot, Augustine Eguavoen's men have had mixed performances in Group D and will hope to avoid a shock result against a nation with everything to play for.
When they return to Morocco next year, they will be aiming to win the tournament, with the Super Eagles always seen as favorites whenever they are at a major competition.
Their top scorer, Victor Osimhen, is expected to be the one to lead them again in their quest to win AFCON next year. He admits he's just happy to have helped his country qualify.
I am happy we are going to the AFCON again. Obviously, the aim is to go one step further than we did the last time in Ivory Coast.
It was Osimhen who scored to salvage a 1-1 draw against Benin that secured another AFCON spot, and there is no denying that Nigeria has one of the best strikers in the world. He could be the difference-maker in bringing the trophy home to Africa's most populous country.
While Nigeria has been able to get the job done, their fiercest rivals, Ghana, have shockingly failed to qualify for the tournament for the first time since 2004. Their absence has been attributed to a lack of commitment from the players, but former Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu says the cracks run deeper.
Our problems started long ago, and the funny aspect is that we celebrate mediocrity in this country and deceive ourselves into thinking that the team is okay after winning one game. When we failed to qualify, I nearly cried.
Ghana will take on Niger in the final game of what has been a disappointing campaign.
