Zackattack:
We lost 2:1 in Benin Republic.
The tie breaker will be away goal scored.
1:0 is the only good result for us against Benin. Not 2:1 or 3:2.

Cocony:
You'll begin to know after the following matches:
Burkina Faso v Ethiopia
Algeria v Uganda
Mali v Madagascar.

A draw in all 3 games will give us the higher hope of qualification.
A win for Burkina Faso by only 1:0 MARGIN and a draw in the remaining 2 games will give
us high hopes of qualifying
even though we must match that result with a 3:0 SCORELINE(2:0 MARGIN will be sufficient but for our porous defence and awkward goalkeeping)

A win for Madagascar as well as for Burkina Faso(at most 1:0) with a draw for Uganda gives us least to no hope of qualifying.

Why the above? You cannot guarantee that South Africa will not beat Rwanda as both matches(South Africa and Nigeria) will be played simultaneously.

NIGHTMARE0O7:
Best analisys!!.
i was going through the table last night and this was also my conclusion

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.

minfelix:
then you shouldn’t put us and them on same talk since we are still on 3rd…going back at your post you called Madagascar,Uganda and B/faso our contenders witu this your same view that we are 3rd…i am also making same assumptions as you….your assumption is imaginarily viewing Nigeria as second, so as my own assumptions too

Usmanovic95:
What are you quoting bro?the table you are referencing was as at match day 7,they are already on matchday 9 waiting for the final match day.Go and check the latest table

QueenJazz:
I was strictly talking of direct qualifications. Provided South Africa doesn't get full 3 points, we need only 1 goal against Benin to top the table (provided we don't concede). Even if we score 7, as long as South Africa wins, we're not going anywhere.

Yes, I'm already aware that qualifying through the playoffs relies on a lot more, and this is why I've said it before that qualifying directly is easier.

That being said, where I agree with you is the number of goals we need. The reality is that if South Africa bottle it again, we really just need a single goal against Benin. But knowing how abysmal we are at keeping clean sheets, then I'll agree that yes. We need at least 3 goals to be able to breathe and relax.

minfelix:
The 3 play off contenders you mention here do not have any better GD than us
Burkina has +4(12pts) play home to Ethiopia
Uganda has +3(12pts) play away to Algeria
Madagascar has +3(13pts)play away to Mali
Nigeria has +4(12pts) play home to Benin

ZombieDredd:
Based on this sef, it's all over

Usmanovic95:
From the picture attached,you can obviously see that the four best second place team were place in the shaded area. They were the one with automatic chance of qualification as at that period( matchday 7) .The figures i quoted were point amass by second placed team after match day 9.

Cocony:
Inasmuch as we believe Nigeria can win her remaining 2 matches and get a worst outcome of a playoff, below are the Direct and Indirect factors of which the Indirect factors carry more weight.
DIRECT FACTORS
1)BEAT LESOTHO BY AT LEAST 3-0 MARGIN AWAY;
2)BEAT BENIN REPUBLIC BY AT LEAST 3-0 MARGIN AT HOME.

INDIRECT FACTORS
1) MADAGASCAR LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY
2) DR CONGO LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY
3) BURKINA FASO LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY
4) NAMIBIA LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY
5) UGANDA LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY
6) SOUTH AFRICA LOSE THIS ROUND AND DRAW ON FINAL DAY.

IF THE INDIRECT FACTOR 6 ALONE IS FULFILLED AND NIGERIA GETS THE NECESSARY 6POINTS FROM HER REMAINING 2 MATCHES, NIGERIA QUALIFIES AUTOMATICALLY AS THE WINNER OF GROUP C.

IF INDIRECT FACTOR 6 TAKES A TWIST SUCH THAT SOUTH AFRICA WINS BY A MAXIMUM OF ONLY 1 GOAL OR DRAWS, NIGERIA WILL STILL NEED TO WIN HER REMAINING TWO MATCHES AND DEPEND ON ALL OF INDIRECT FACTORS 1-5 TO PLAY OUT AS WRITTEN WITH AN ADDITIONAL WILD CARD FACTOR OF RWANDA BEATING SOUTH AFRICA IN THE LAST GAME
TO QUALIFY AS GROUP LEADERS.

QueenJazz:
After our shambolic outing yesterday, if we even win Benin at all, the best I can see us getting is a 1-0 victory. And it'll probably come from another penalty. Thankfully only 1 goal is needed.

Cocony:
Yes in all you said topping the group is the best and surest way to the world cup even from a logistics viewpoint because play off is also stressful and financial tasking.
Other points you cited are incorrect and the table below will explain why to you.

Truidstarr:
You are basing your belief on 2nd place finish...I am basing my assertion of 2 goals on SA not beating Rwanda.

Usmanovic95:
It's either Nigeria top the qualification group or forget the world cup entirely. We can no longer qualify as best runner-up, because the highest point we can amass is 17point. There are better places runner up at the moment like
Burkina f-18PT
Dr Congo- 19PT
Cameroon -18PT
Gabon - 22PT
Uganda -18PT
Madagascar -19PT

Unfortunately,the slot is open to the 4 best second placed teams.So we either win and hope result go in our favour or just forget the world cup.

Truidstarr:
You forget say every goal we score na plus one for us and minus one for them. A goal is even enough. Let's get two to be on the safe side.

MetalJigsaw:
You dont know anyrhing .They have +5 goal GD while we have +3. We need a 3-0 to overtake them. Anything less than that we're done. Unless we get lucky to get in the playoffs.

Ppogbae:
Really? Can you explain? What must Burkina do or not do?

Kalulu44:
Just 1 nil we need bro not 2-0

South Africa could protest Calvin Bassey handball if they don’t win against Rwanda
