Nigeria vs Cape Verde 16.11.2021
Nigeria will host Cape Verde in the final game of the 2022 World Cup qualification series. The Nigerians go into this game leading Group C with 10 points, two ahead of their opponents Cape Verde.
The Cape Verdeans have their work cut out as it is a win or bust for their World Cup aspirations. Given the intense pressure, they will be subjected to in Lagos, it looks like a mission impossible.
Nigeria needs only a draw to make sure of their place in the next qualifying round, but the memories of the loss to the Central African Republic is still very fresh. Thus, they will not want to leave anything to chance. Therefore, we are backing Nigeria to win by a two-goal margin.
