Nigeria vs Rwanda: What you need to know about the match
Nigeria have struggled to find consistency in the qualifiers so far, collecting seven points from their opening six matches. They sit just one point off second place, leaving everything to play for in the race for the playoff spots reserved for runners-up. The gap to first place is six points, meaning there is still a chance to claim a direct ticket. Four matches remain in the campaign.
Rwanda, meanwhile, are looking to defend their grip on second place. They are level on points with Benin and trail the group leaders by five. The Rwandans are four points adrift of the team currently sitting in the top four of the runners-up ranking, meaning that even finishing second may not be enough to secure qualification for the tournament.
