After an unconvincing start to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, Nigeria visit Russia in a friendly encounter at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Eric Chelle’s side were beaten 3-0 in Guinea-Bissau, a result that has heaped pressure on the Super Eagles’ competitive campaign, while Valery Karpin’s Russia arrive into the fixture on the back of four consecutive victories.
Russia have been unable to participate in competitive football since their suspension from UEFA and FIFA competitions following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but Karpin has kept his squad sharp through a steady programme of international friendlies, and the results have been encouraging.
Heading into Tuesday’s game, Russia are on a four-match winning streak, with each of those victories featuring at least two goals.
