World Cup Qualifiers: Assessing Super Eagles’ Chances Against Rwanda

As the Super Eagles gear up for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, we analyze their form, squad strength, and key factors that could determine their success.

The Super Eagles will face Rwanda in a World Cup 2026 qualifying match later today.

Sitting fifth on the table with three points after four matches, Nigeria aims to rejuvenate their chances of qualifying for the World Cup in the US, Mexico, and Canada as they face off against the Amavubis in Kigali.

This game marks Eric Chelle’s debut as the head coach of the Super Eagles, approximately two months following his appointment to lead the three-time African champions.

Nigeria has a complete lineup for the match, with star forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman among those included.

Having completed four matches, the Super Eagles have just six remaining to change their fortunes. Only one team from each group will automatically advance. Meanwhile, the four best second-place teams across the continent’s qualification series will secure a spot in a playoff round. The winner of this knockout contest will then compete in an inter-continental playoff for a chance to qualify further.
