Nigeria are tipped to win to nil against Tanzania in their Group L Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, with a 2-0 scoreline predicted. Nigeria have never lost to Tanzania in a competitive match, winning three of their last five home games and scoring nine goals while conceding four. Tanzania have struggled away from home, securing only one win in their last five away fixtures and earning just one point from their opening two qualifiers. This selection is supported by Nigeria's superior head-to-head record and Tanzania's poor recent away form.

Nigeria will want this win at home to put them in a good spot after three games and given Tanzania's away from, I can only see one result here.

Key Stats - One win in Five for Tanzania away from Home


  • Nigeria have won 3 of their last 5 home fixtures.
  • Nigeria have scored 9 goals in 5 home matches. 
  • Nigeria have conceded 4 goals in 5 home games. 
  • Tanzania have won 1 of their last 5 away fixtures.
  • Tanzania have scored 8 goals in 5 away matches. 
  • Tanzania have conceded 4 goals in 5 away games. 

Nigeria Undefeated vs Tanzania


Nigeria lead 6-0 in nine matches against Tanzania with three draws.

Nigeria One Loss, One Victory


Nigeria had mixed fortunes in their recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in September, edging Madagascar 2-1 before suffering a 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau. 

The Super Eagles are second in the Group L standings with three points after two rounds. 

In October, Nigeria travelled to face Russia in a friendly international, drawing 3-3 with their hosts. 

Nigeria have won one of their last five fixtures, with two defeats and two draws. They scored eight goals and conceded 11.  

The Super Eagles have registered three victories in their last five home matches, with one defeat and one draw. They scored nine goals and conceded four.

Nigeria have lacked consistency lately, but they have achieved results at home, having won three of their last five games, and they have never lost to Tanzania in a competitive match. 

Tanzania One Point from Opening Two matches


Tanzania had no answer in their opening AFCON qualifier, losing 2-0 to Guinea-Bissau at home before drawing 1-1 with Madagascar away. 

The Taifa Stars are last in the Group L table with one point from two matches. 

Tanzania have won one of their last five matches, with three defeats and one draw. They scored seven goals and conceded five.

The Taifa Stars have secured one victory in their last five away fixtures, with two defeats and two draws. They scored eight goals and conceded four.  

Tanzania have not had much success lately, and have been poor on the road, recording one victory in their last eight games, which is not the ideal form to have when taking on Nigeria in their own backyard.
