Nigeria aim to strengthen their qualification hopes

The Super Eagles are second in Group L, three points behind leaders Guinea-Bissau. With Tanzania already guaranteed a place at the tournament as co-hosts, only the group winners can claim the remaining qualification spot.

Nigeria must therefore avoid another setback after their 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau. Eric Chelle's side have won five of their last 10 matches, while Tanzania have managed just one victory in the same period, losing six and drawing three.

The visitors, coached by Miguel Gamondi, have little qualification pressure but will be looking to test themselves against one of Africa's leading sides ahead of the tournament.

Nigeria also have a strong record in this fixture, remaining unbeaten in their last six meetings with Tanzania. They won their most recent encounter in December 2025.

However, the Super Eagles' defensive problems could offer the Taifa Stars an opportunity. Nigeria have conceded in each of their last five matches, while Tanzania have scored seven goals in their previous five outings.
