In their four prior matches with Lesotho, the Super Eagles prevailed.

With a perfect record of five straight wins, the three-time African champions are in good shape going into the match.

There were four victories and one tie for the Eagles during this time.

Nigeria is still anticipated to defeat its less distinguished opponents even if they will be missing Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Osimhen for this encounter.

The recent 0-0 stalemate against Cote d’Ivoire can serve as motivation for Lesotho, who are predicted to struggle against their famous hosts.
