Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - AFCON preview

Nigeria will look to make it three successive Africa Cup of Nations wins as they finish the group stage tonight.

The Super Eagles have made a perfect start to the delayed AFCON in Cameroon, with victories over Egypt and Sudan, and should they beat Guinea-Bissau they will be the only team through to the last 16 with a perfect record.

Their opponents have one point from their Group D matches so far, a draw against Sudan, but know that a surprise win over Nigeria will likely take them through as one of the best third-placed teams.

Nigeria may well make changes for the match as they look to keep their squad fresh, which would give Guinea-Bissau renewed hope of getting the win they need.

Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria is scheduled for an 7pm GMT kick-off tonight - Wednesday, January 19, 2022.
