omo Madagascar is as KEY as the burkina and Drc…if Madagascar wins like this…Both Burkina faso oo,Nigeria oo,Niger oo,Uganda oo cannot enter the play offs again…the last guys on 13ts…if they win Mali, then we will now shift focus to drc who is also on 13…those ones will beat sudan like tiff….who could Imagine Niger grabbing 3 points away to Zambia….Mali plssssssss 🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼🙌🏻🙏🙏

Bros tge key matches are DRC and Burkina. And we needed to have trashed Lesotho. But Apparently our technical team of the NFF didnt know this. And Nwabali also messed us up. If thst game finished 2-0. We will just need to mstch the Burkinafaso result today to be above them

Amedino99:
drc and Madagascar have 13 points so they are the utmost important as they have to draw or lose their matches. Uganda and burkina faso are on 12 points but with +3 and +4 goal differences so these matches are very important. The bad part of this is that these matches apart from DRC will hold concurrently with our match so we will be tracking the results of south africa, uganda, burkina faso and madagascar matches as well as expecting that the super eagles win their match. It will be a really crazy tuesday.
Edit: burkina faso is 8 tonight.
Madagascar is 8 tonight

Madagascar is plsyng away to Mali, only a win will put them beyond reach. Uganda is playing away to Algeria i dont see them beating Algeria. The key matches are Burkinafaso vs Ethiopia and DRC vs Sudan but at home. Like i said those away victories they got in the last matchday was a very big blow to us. Our chances would have been great if we had trashed Lesotho like 4-0. But ee fumbled. If Burkinafaso beat Ethiopia by just 1 goal difference we will need to beay Benin Republic 3-0. Thats an uphill task if you ask me.

solonnachi:
DRC will play Sudan. Hoping that the Sudanese can hold them tight. I know Burkina will trash Ethiopia and if Madagascar can play draw/lose to Mali and we beat Benin by 2/3 nil, we will be through to playoffs

Why do you Think that Burkinafaso will trash Ethiopia?

solonnachi:
Guys lets keep an eye on
Mali v Madagascar
Burkina Faso v Ethiopia

Madagascar and Burkina Faso have to play draw or lose in case we follow the playoff route.

The 2 key matches are Burkinafaso and Dr Congo . They both won the last match, that has landed us into deep trouble. If they dont drop points we are out of contention we just concentrate on praying that Rwanda holds SA

minfelix:
e go pain them say dem suffer give us qualifications on a platter and we troway am

If they suffer, they can also be helping Benin.

COOL10:
I never said anything about Zimbabwe with regards to those things you listed. Get your facts right lest you end up making false accusations. You must have mistaken my moniker for someone else's.

I didnt say its you who said it. The same thing you are saying now about Rwanda thats what many people said about Zimbabwe, infact some said its going to be 4-0, giving all manner of justifications. Now again you are saying the same thing about Rwanda not having anything to play for.

minfelix:
while Nigeria should also be busy beating Benin oo, else Rwanda go swear for us, if they beat or draw SA and we couldn’t beat Benin

Wetin concern Rwanda with if we beat Benin. Did we have a deal with them to beat SA and we beat Benin?

yinkeys:
Who would you bring on when we desperately need goals ?
Uche is yet to find form

Start the best so that you will not desperately need goals. If anything. There is Terem Moffi on the bench

COOL10:
Rwanda don't have anything to play for again. I won't be surprised if South Africa beats them 4:1 or 5:0. Zimbabwe only gave South Africa a tough test because it was a derby. I may be wrong but I feel South Africa will find Rwanda easier to beat than Zimbabwe.

But na so una too talk against Zimbabwe that
-they have nothing to play for,
-that they are neighbours,
-They used SouthAfrica as home
- they have kept a clean sheet before
- they are last in the group, yada yada.

This is football bro, Rwanda can even beat SA

semid4lyfe:
The group stands as

Benin, 17 points, +5 GD
South Africa, 15 points +3 GD
Nigeria, 14 points +3 GD

Benin vs Nigeria ended 2 - 1 in Ivory Coast.

A 1 - 0 scoreline for us in Uyo pegs Benin GD to +4, and increases ours to +4 as well., and will see us go through provided SA doesn't win against Rwanda.

The tie between Nigeria and Benin will then be decided based on away goals scored in the matches between both teams. Nigeria scored 1 goal away, and Benin did not score any at Uyo so we go through.

In case of a 2 - 1 victory, Nigeria & Benin will be tied on GD and goals scored away, and the disciplinary record of the two teams (team with less cards) will then be used as the tie breaker to decide the group topper, and qualifying team

Currently Benin republic has amassed 11 yellow cards, 0 red card.

Nigeria has 13 yellow cards, 0 red cards.

So we have to win by a 2 goals margin or 1 nil on Tuesday, and also ensure Benin accumulates more cards while we don't get any bookings.

Of course. our victory will be moot and useless if S/Africa defeats Rwanda on Tuesday. So, its still advantage SA because whats the probability of lightning striking twice in the same place?

By 6.45pm on Tuesday, we go know if we dey go world cup or not.

Benin has 14 yellow cards

Elock1:
Omo but judging from what they are saying in the comment section

Those Southy guys get subtle bitterness for the Zimbabweans ...omo

Which page is that?

semid4lyfe:
Is the Eritrea route still open for us?

Dr Congo and Burkinafaso both won their games yesterday. We are toast. It will take a Miracle to qualify. If we had beaten Lesotho 4-0 then hope dey, with this result today. E go hard

TheLoneCitizen:
Regardless of all these permutations, South Africa is the team to watch, not Benin.

I keep making this point. The game SA vs Rwanda is the key match. Please Paul Kagame charge your boys to fight to the death for the pride of your great nation Rwanda, by beating SouthAfrica handsomely.

JohnBullMySon:
Shey you don see am.

I tell una say Rwanda go lose to Benin. Na RSA match shock me. How they manage to miss all their chances. Three targets on the bar!!

I expected RSA, Benin and Naija to win.

Honestly football is somehow. But that does not mean that Rwanda is bad oo, I think they went out to win the game, Benin hit them on a counter. Lets hope they (Rwanda) remedy that against RSA and play and win for pride

hatakekakashi:
Bro, imagine someone that watched this match asking what Ekong did wrong. Someone that gave away a corner under minimal pressure just minutes after we conceded from a corner. He's just currently enjoying captain tax now, plus he's our best pk taker.

Not true, Lookman sabi play PK even Simon moses. And moreover no be Osihmen score PK agaisnt Alisson of Liverpool for UCL. If we fail to qualify Ekong and Nwabali are the biggest culprits

TheLoneCitizen:
We have 13

Jesus that tight. Hope my calculations of their own is accurate? I counted 14. Abeg help us if you can, to get the real perspective

Isahalbash:
I think they beat Nigeria at home 2-1 so based on h2h Nigeria will still top with a 1-0 win but 2-1 will be a tied.

It will be tied, but we are better in disciplinary records. They have 14 yellow cards we have 12 . Fine margins. But if we win 3-2 otilo fir us

Unlimited22:
If we beat Benin by one goal only they will have a better goal difference than we do.

Not true, 1 goal win agaisnt them will reduce their own goal difference by 1 and increase our own by 1 so double jeopady

Unlimited22:
They have a 2 point goal difference lead on us.

A one goal win means we still are down one point.

A two goal win will tie that GD and give us a better head to head result, as well as bettering their goals scored record.

Unless I'm very mistaken, we need to win by two clear goals.

If we win them by 1 goal their own goal difference too will reduce remember since we are directly playing them

Psittacus:
Is as if nobody is seeing Rwanda has nothing to play for anymore. Why would they go and die for Nigeria in South Africa, when we actually crucified ourself.

Why did Zimbabwe die in the last match with SA even with red cards? Many of una talk say Na 4-0 sef SA go beat them

TheLoneCitizen:
They beat us in first leg by 1-0, so H2H is inconsequential here. Just win and you match their H2H.

They beat us 2-1. If we beat them by 1-0 we top with away goals. If its 2-1 we top on disciplinary records. They have 14 yellow cards we have 12.

GMBOFASIA:
Rwanda will come out to play against South Africa dem go too chop goals

Why will they come out?

123jamessmith:
Remember Benin defeated us in away match l, I have forgetting the score in Nigeria

2-1

lovewins:
Not exactly.

A 1-0 win puts us at same point with same goal difference as Benin (including same GF and GA). I think head to head then applies here and Benin wins by head to head I think

A 2-0 win puts us same point and +1 ahead of Benin and should be enough to qualify us

Of course all this is consequent on another South Africa draw or loss.

Benin beat us 2-1 in the first leg. Any win against then that is not 3-2, 4-3 , 5-4 etc we will top them. Our focus is on South Africa against Rwanda that has nothing to play for anymore.

mank1234:
Benin Republic just need a draw in Nigeria to qualify.

Our play doesn't give confidence. Shouldn't we just allow our brothers to qualify?

They dont need a draw, if they draw and South Africa wins, by 2 goals, they are out on head to head

hatakekakashi:
Apart from the fact that he played rubbish in this match and was probably our worst defender in a defence that had a literal kid in it, if we end up not qualifying, it's his fault for conceding that equalizer to Zimbabwe.

I get that the team is bad in general but it's his job as a captain to be one of the better players, not the one sabotaging the team. Let's not talk about his careless own goal vs South Africa.

That Zimbabwe match sef is the killer, Imagine we won that match.

Even in this Match, he was very suspect and poor. A better team woould have punished us. Him and Nwabali are just trojan horses

Unlimited22:
Any win with clean sheet, we top them

If SA also drop points, it means the god of football is from Uromi, Aviele, Auchi or Ekpoma.

And Rwanda is not playing for anything, they can just decide to play defensive game through out and hold them like the way Zimbabwe did

TheLoneCitizen:
We scored 5 goals away from home, they scored 4.

If we beat them 3-2, they jump to 6. If we beat them 2-1, we mustn't collect one more yellow card than them or we're f**ked

Your points still stands oo but its “Away Goals Scored: The team that has scored more away goals in matches between the tied teams is ranked higher”. So its away goals between us. We scored 1 away goals against them, so if we keep clean sheet against them and win we go above them. If they score 2 they go above us. Its very very tight

Isahalbash:
I think they beat Nigeria at home 2-1 so based on h2h Nigeria will still top with a 1-0 win but 2-1 will be a tied.

If we beat them 1-0 we top them, if its 3-2 they top us. So we need to beat them by more than 1 goal margin or just keep clean sheet

TheLoneCitizen:
Not yet this is where the problem comes in.

If we beat them by a lone goal, we must keep a clean sheet.

If we beat them 2-1, we qualify.
If we beat them 3-2, they qualify.

You are correct ooo, If we beat them just 1-0. Its enough oo. Kai can we keep a clean sheet?

If we beat them no matter the scoreline

Isahalbash:
Nah only you check table well, even 1-0 Nigeria will qualify cos we would be on same goals scored and conceded as long as SA didn't win.

If we beat them by 1 goal, We will top them based on Disciplinary records ooo. Because everything will be tied

We still have a scores to settle with SouthAfrica

kennysville:
Nope, any win gets us to equal points 17pts . We need more goals. If we can run them riot, then its a chance. but SA still stands a chance of topping. All they need is a win however slim. If however the Eritrea Clause is implemented, we may find out that the 1-1 draw against Zim is what gets us a second place.... Lets keep watching

The Eritrea issue doesn’t have any impact within our group it doesn’t matter. Where it will matter is if we finish second and they want to rank us with other second place team. You get?

We dont need to run Benin Riot, we just need to beat them, once its by 2 goals difference we will top them, if its just 1 we need to avoid cards as disciplanry records will be checked
