I am very optimistic about Nigeria beating South Africa tomorrow. Ask me why.

Firstly, it really shows in Nigeria’s players’ readiness for qualification for the World Cup. Although it seems to be late, but with quality and experience, players who are going to play in a team.

 Starting from the defensive line, the South Africa defender seems to be inconsistent and prone to costly errors, but solid individuals like Khuliso Mudau’s recent success in the recent matches in a FIFA World Cup qualifier shows improvement. Other individual lapses will give Nigeria victory. Although Nigeria’s defenses lack leadership, they still have stable defenders like Ola Aina and Ashleigh Plumptre, who are demonstrating high-level performance in club and international contests.

Nigeria has the stronger overall attacking force due to its strength in producing world-class attackers, but South Africa is currently doing well.

Remember, South Africa has never beaten Nigeria at home. We have had opportunities to meet six times, which Nigeria won three and Draw three. Let’s flash back to September 2008: South Africa 0 v Nigeria 1. August 2013 South Africa 0 v Nigeria 2. January 2014 South Africa 1 v Nigeria 3. September 2014 South Africa 0 v Nigeria 0.

March 2015 South Africa 1 v Nigeria 1. November 2018 South Africa 1 v Nigeria 1

Said above are just records, not permanent. Nigeria can only win the match tomorrow if they are all ready to play locally by applying African mentality ways of playing football.

Time for the tomorrow match is 5pm Nigeria time .and 17:00gmt
