Nigeria vs Egypt 11.01.2022

Nigeria will begin their quest for a 4th AFCON title in this Group D clash against 7-time winners Egypt. Having shown Gernot Rohr the exit door a few weeks to the tournament, this continental showpiece is a huge test for Eguavoen and his lads.

In a tournament as unpredictable as the AFCON, picking something in your first game could set the tone for how the remaining games will pan out. To this end, both sides will look to get their journey off to a bright start.

Given how 2 of their last 3 clashes ended, we are anticipating a close battle between both sides. Based on this, we expect the opening half to end in a draw.
