Match Preview: Rwanda vs Nigeria
Rwanda recorded a 1-1 draw against Libya in their first game in the African Cup of Nations, with Innocent Nshuti scoring the equalizer in the second half. They will host the Super Eagles of Nigeria in their second game in the group stage which is expected to take place on Tuesday at the Amahoro Stadium.
Nigeria had a fantastic run in the previous AFCON but somehow lost to Ivory Coast in the final. They started the new season with a sensational 3-0 win against Benin, after struggling with one draw and defeat in their recent two games in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers. Notwithstanding, Nigeria have won twice with three draws against Rwanda in their last five head-to-head encounters.
Rwanda vs Nigeria Match Prediction
Rwanda may disappoint their fans in this fixture as they face the Super Eagles for the first time in this AFCON campaign. Despite having one defeat in their last five outings, Rwanda will find it difficult to stop Nigerian attackers, Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen from getting on the scoreboard. We predict Rwanda 1-2 Nigeria since Nigeria are the clear favourite to win the game.
Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction
Rwanda are unreliable in front of goal following their recent performance. Their last five matches ended under two goals, which gives the impression that the game will not record up to three goals. We believe Nigeria have what it takes to win the game with at least two goals, We predict under 2.5 goals as our final option.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Rwanda: Ntwali, Maes, Imanishimwe, Mutsinzi, Manzi, Bizimana, Ruboneka, Sahabo, Muhire, Gueulette, Gitego
Nigeria: Nwabali, Ajayi, Bassey, Tanimu, Yusuf, Onyeka, Iwobi, Lookman, Chukwueze, Samuel, Osimhen
