The Super Eagles arrived in Bissau on Sunday for the encounter after beating Madagascar 2-1 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, on Friday.

The Eagles will face Guinea-Bissau, which defeated Tanzania 2-0 in their opening Group L fixture, to move ahead of Nigeria on goal difference.

Nigeria will face the Djurtus, ranked 132nd in the world and 38th in Africa, at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau on Tuesday.

Guinea-Bissau have faced Nigeria four times, winning once—in 2023 during the AFCON qualifiers, when they secured a 1-0 victory at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

Only the group winner will secure an AFCON 2027 qualification ticket, with Tanzania already qualified as a co-host.

Nigeria therefore faces a crucial encounter against Guinea-Bissau, with both sides seeking to strengthen their position in Group L.
