Nigeria comes for this match under pressure due to the need to bounce back.

The team has shown inconsistency, alternating between dominated matches and less productive performances. The defense has shown solid moments, but the attack still lacks creativity and finishing, crucial factors in turning around evenly matched matches. Playing at home, the team will have the responsibility of taking the initiative, maintaining intensity, and constantly moving between the lines to create opportunities and pressure the opponent.

In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got an away loss against Algeria by (2‑0). In the last 8 away matches Rwanda has won 2, tied 3 and lost 3.

Away from home, the team tends to play more cautiously, seeking to control the pace and minimize space, attempting to exploit Nigeria's defensive errors. The priority will be to maintain organization and try to score goals from strategic opportunities, without exposing itself too much.
