Nigeria vs Tanzania Live Stream & Betting Tips - Super Eagles Set to Win at AFCON
Nigeria enters the Africa Cup of Nations with a strong offensive lineup, led by Victor Osimhen, aiming to extend their favorable record against Tanzania. Despite not qualifying for the World Cup, Nigeria's recent form suggests they could secure a crucial win. Tanzania, under new management, struggles with a poor AFCON history and recent losses, facing a tough challenge against the Super Eagles. This match provides Nigeria a chance to bolster their confidence before more challenging Group C games.
- Tanzania have lost 5 of their last 6 matches
- Nigeria have a great chance to build confidence at AFCON
- Watch Nigeria vs Tanzania live from Fez
Nigeria are unfancied at the Africa Cup of Nations but possess a strong attack led by Victor Osimhen. Tanzania haven’t won in nine attempts at AFCON and I think that record will be extended in Fez.

HTH - Nigeria Unbeaten
These nations have met five time, Nigeria winning three contests alongside two draws.
They last met in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Nigeria earning a 0-0 draw in Dar-es-Salaam before a 1-0 win in Abuja thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho’s late goal.
Nigeria Form, Squad & Predicted Line Up
Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup, finishing second in Group C, one point behind South Africa. Despite that disappointment, it was good enough to earn a spot in the second round.
The Super Eagles dominated Gabon in the semi-finals but were taken to extra time where Victor Osimhen scored twice to secure a 4-1 victory. They took an early lead against DR Congo in the final but were eventually overpowered, the game ending 1-1 before they lost the penalty shootout.
Eric Chelle’s side lost 2-1 against Egypt in their only warm up game for AFCON. Nigeria are chasing a fourth title at the tournament, their last success coming in 2013.

Tanzania Form, Squad & Predicted Line Up
Tanzania were never in contention to qualify for the World Cup, finishing third in Group E, 14 points behind Morocco. They scored only six goals in eight games.
Miguel Gamondi became the new manager in early November and has had one match in charge. It came in Cairo, a 4-3 defeat to Kuwait after leading 2-0 at half-time.
The Taifa Stars have never won in three appearances at AFCON, losing six times alongside three draws.
Gamondi understands the challenge his side faces against Nigeria, saying: "I’m very realistic about the possibilities. Maybe Nigeria have 99 per cent, but you never know."

Verdict
Tanzania have never won a game at AFCON and I don’t expect that to change against Nigeria. The Super Eagles have a fantastic chance to win in Fez and gain some confidence before tougher tests in Group C.
