MATCH PREDICTION
Coached by Gernot Rohr, who led Nigeria to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Benin are in a wide open Group C with Lesotho on top with five points then Rwanda, Benin and South Africa on four and the Nigerians on three with Zimbabwe on two. Benin most recently edged past Rwanda by a goal to nil with a 37th minute winner scored by Dodo Dokou. They now face a Nigerian side that finished as runners’ up at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year but their general low performance levels have continued since the appointment of Finidi George and they are under major pressure. With Benin capable of collecting a point here and Nigeria lacking any fluency or cohesion, under 2.5 goals seems very likely for this one.
