Nigeria hosts Tanzania in an AFCON qualifier. With no prior head-to-head results, predicting a scoreline relies heavily on team lineups. Nigeria's squad features established players like Onuachu and Ejuke. Tanzania's lineup is less familiar. Given the lack of historical data and recent form, a conservative approach is necessary.

Prediction

Based solely on the provided lineups and the absence of H2H goal scoring data, and assuming a relatively balanced match, a 1-0 victory for Nigeria is predicted. This reflects Nigeria's potentially stronger attacking options.

  • AFCON 2025: Nigeria target winning start against Tanzania

    The Super Eagles of Nigeria seek a vital victory against Tanzania in their AFCON 2025 Group C opener to kickstart their quest for a fourth continental title. Nigeria’s Super Eagles will launch their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign this Tuesday with a high-stakes Group C opener against Tanzania at the Complexe Sportif de Fès. Arriving in Morocco as three-time continental champions, Nigeria is heavily favored against a Tanzanian side making only its fourth tournament appearance. Head coach Éric Chelle faces significant pressure to deliver a convincing performance and restore national confidence following the team’s recent absence from the World Cup. Despite the gap in pedigree, the Super Eagles remain wary of the unpredictable nature of opening fixtures. Nigeria has an illustrious history in the competition, boasting 104 matches compared to Tanzania’s ten, but the coaching staff emphasizes that reputation alone does not win games. “Our first game is a big game and the first game is very important and for sure we want to win this game,” coach Chelle stated during Monday’s pre-match press conference. Tanzania enters the clash searching for their first-ever victory at an AFCON final, having recorded only draws and losses in previous outings. Led by captain Mbwana Samatta, the Taifa Stars hope to exploit any complacency in the Nigerian camp. However, Nigeria’s captain Wilfred Ndidi dismissed talk of pressure, insisting the squad is energized. With a star-studded lineup including Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, the Eagles aim to secure three points before facing Tunisia.

  • Tanzania coach Gamondi: Beating Nigeria like winning AFCON

    Tanzania coach Miguel Gamondi believes defeating Nigeria in their AFCON opener would be as significant as winning the entire tournament for the winless Taifa Stars.

    Tanzania head coach Miguel Gamondi believes his side can end their long wait for a maiden Africa Cup of Nations victory when they face Nigeria on Tuesday.

    The Taifa Stars have played nine matches across three previous tournament appearances without recording a single win.

    As they prepare for their tenth AFCON game at the Complexe Sportif de Fès, the Argentine tactician remains optimistic about breaking the historic winless streak against the continental giants.

    The coach acknowledged Nigeria’s superior pedigree but emphasized that his team is motivated by the prospect of an upset.

    “It’s our dream, and nobody can stop us from believing and dreaming,” Gamondi stated during a pre-match press conference.

    He admitted that while the Super Eagles are heavy favorites on paper, the unpredictable nature of football gives his side a fighting chance to make a significant impact in their opening Group C encounter.

    Gamondi highlighted that a victory over the three-time champions would be a monumental achievement for Tanzanian football.

    “I am confident we can do something. If we do what we need to do and are able to win, beating Nigeria would feel like winning the AFCON for us, especially at the start of the tournament,” he said.

    Following this clash, Tanzania is scheduled to face regional rivals Uganda and North African powerhouses Tunisia.
