Nigeria vs Ghana 29.03.2022

Nigeria and Ghana will slug it out in the second leg of this year’s World Cup Qualifiers. After a barren draw in Kumasi in the reverse fixture, the Super Eagles must avoid a home defeat to ensure 6th appearance at the global showpiece.

Although the Black Stars headed into the first leg on a dismal run, they gave a good account of themselves in front of an energetic home crowd. In fact, it took Uzoho’s couple of saves to keep Addo’s men at bay. In this away tie in Abuja, they will be hoping to replicate that good performance.

Given what is at stake here, we are anticipating a keenly contested tie. However, due to home advantage and a better squad overall, we are backing the Eagles to win with less than four goals scored.
