Nigeria will host Benin in a West African derby at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday, looking to get off to a fine start in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.
It will be the second meeting between both sides in the space of four months, with the visitors securing a 2-1 win when both sides met in June for a World Cup qualifying match.
Nigeria will be seeking revenge when they take to the pitch on Saturday after losing in this fixture for only the second time in history back in June.
Meanwhile, former Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr will look to heap more misery on his old side as he aims to take Benin to a first AFCON since 2019.
The Cheetahs have won three of 12 matches under the German, drawing four and losing five times since he took over the head coach role in February 2023.
Benin have never won a game on Nigerian soil, losing 2-1 on their only trip there in 2019 for AFCON qualifier, but the Cheetahs will feel confident more than ever going into this clash given Rohr’s familiarity with the Nigerian team and their win last time out.
