The Super Eagles will be desperate to get a firm grip on Group L of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, since only one team will qualify from their group.

Interestingly, the last time that both teams played against each other, it was the Barea that got the upperhand, as they defeated Nigeria 2-0 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

This time, Eric Chelle and his boys will be hoping for a better outcome. They have eveerything in their favour. They have the better quality players. In fact, the Super Eagles squad value is 31x that of Madagascar’s. Also, they have the advantage of playing at home.

Super Eagles XI

Nigeria coach Eric Chelle has opted for an attacking lineup here. It is not a surprise, given the fact that the Super Eagles are hansome favourites to claim the maximum points in this encounter.

There has long been talk that Chelle is a big George Ilenikhena fan, and that shows, as Chelle has thrown him right into the mix. Chukwueze’s AC Milan form has also been rewarded. Of course, Ademola Lookman starts on the left and will be expected to bring the goods from the left wing.

Madagascar coach Corentin Martins has gone with a 4-3-3 formation. But the plan will be to sit back with the hope of catching the Super Eagles on the break.
