Which of these teams will be left standing at the end of this match?

Nigeria vs Cameroon: Super Falcons match time

This 2024 Summer Olympics qualifying game will be played on Monday, February 26. Kick-off time is 4 pm WAT.

Nigeria

Nigeria's Super Falcons were held to a goalless draw in the first leg. They were unable to convert their chances, and one of their goals was cancelled.

Randy Waldrum‘s troops will set their sights on a place in the final qualifying round as they host the Indomitable Lionesses.

Cameroon

On the other hand, Cameroon will have their work cut out for them, after failing to defeat the Super Falcons at home.

Considering the away goal rule applies to these qualifying rounds, the Indomitable Lionesses can go through with a draw, provided it isn't goalless.

Nigeria vs Cameroon head to head

Nigeria vs Cameroon tactical analysis

It's important to note that Cameroon managed just two wins in their last six matches across all competitions.

They have also struggled to find the net, failing to score in three of their last four games.

In contrast, the Super Falcons have proven to be a tough team to beat, as they are currently on a four-match unbeaten run.

Waldrum's side have also been very solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last four matches.

Nigeria vs Cameroon prediction

We would like to point out that previous meetings between these outfits have mostly been one-sided in goal-scoring terms, as both teams managed to score in just one of their last seven clashes.

This has also been the case with both teams' most recent games. At least one team blanked in three of Nigeria's last four games and all of Cameroon's last five matches, too.

Taking everything into consideration, our Nigeria vs Cameroon prediction is that both teams will not score.
