Nigeria seek second qualifying win away to Guinea-Bissau

Tuesday, 29 September 2026, 08:55 · 1 min read

Nigeria's Super Eagles travel to Bissau on Tuesday for their second 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, after a 2-1 comeback win over Madagascar in Uyo in which debutants George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor scored. Coach Eric Chelle wants a sharper display against a Guinea-Bissau side with home advantage and quick attackers such as Beto, Mama Baldé and Franculino Djú, with Usor, Calvin Bassey, goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali and 100-cap winger Moses Simon seen as key figures. A win would keep Nigeria on course for the continental finals (Africa's biennial national-team football championship), which they need to qualify for after a tentative start.
