Nigeria vs Ghana would also be kicking off soon, and Nigeria are missing a couple of their key players, but if the performance in the AFCON are anything to go by, Nigeria should get relatively easy win here, perhap 2-0.

Ghana Vs Nigerian match is not something you will predict 2:0 against Ghana, right now Ghana is oppressing Nigeria even trying to score goal, attempting to score with different style, Ghana has made like three times effort to score, the much is still at 30 minutes but Nigeria kind of ball does not show that Nigerian will win Ghana, from my observation Ghana is playing well than Nigeria football team

The battle between Egypt and Senegal is becoming increasingly difficult; the Egyptians score an early goal to take the lead, but after the goal, the Senegal squad gets even stronger, as they apply great pressure to the Egyptians; Mane and Salah are demonstrating their worth as world-class players. The Egyptians cannot yet celebrate because the match is still in progress and anything can happen.

You must give credit where it's due, the Ghanaians were the better side for more than half of the first half and it's understand that Nigeria are playing away from home, but Nigeria had the better chances for the last 20 minutes or thereabout.

It's still not impossible for Nigeria to win this game, I'd say.

It's now that Nigerian is playing is well because they have undergoes advice, even now they have missed chances of scoring goal, Ghana team can not miss-utilize the two opportunities Nigeria missed, the way I'm looking at the match it will end up 0:0

[BIT-BENDER]

I had always expected Nigeria and Ghana encounter to be very tough and at 68 minutes and still goalless shows you how tight the match is. This are two long time rivals and it isn't only for a Chance to qualify but also for glory.
Honestly speaking it hasn't been an exciting one with the two goalkeepers having less work to do. But I think it won't end a draw as one team would be able to put one goal inthe last minutes of the game.

The game is extremely difficult; both teams are attempting to protect their homes, and all teams are attempting to prevent goals. Nigeria is currently attacking more than Ghana; I do not believe the match will conclude in a draw; one team will have to score.

The match is almost finish, it will end draw.

Both countries teams played good. Ghana had 3 goals on target while Nigeria had 2. Ghana dominate the first half but likely Nigeria dominate more little in second half. They both played good. Second March is on 29th of this month, I am expecting Nigeria to win by that time.

in the Cameroon vs Algeria match it seems your prediction is wrong, currently Algeria is leading the match with a score of 1-0. and for the match mali vs tunisia, your choice was right but tunisia was lucky because of an own goal made by sissako in the 36th minute besides that he was also shown a red card.

Own goals saved the day. Imagine making a ridiculous mistake and scoring the worst own goal in years then gets a red card. Tunisia was playing with 12 players vs 10 from Mali
I like a meme I saw saying: when you try to make the game (FIFA/PES) longer by scoring an own goal so you keep playing the extra time with your friend (and make the others wait longer)

The match ended eventually a goalless draw, a big advantage and opportunity for the Nigerian Super Eagle to rap up the game in their second leg, though it was a tough match, however the pitch of the Kumasi stadium was very bad and nothing to write home about, it's a big disgrace to host such high profile match in that stadium, the ball wasn't moving freely the match didn't leave up to expectations probably that was the Ghanaian team game plan to frustrate Nigerian players who ply and play in European leagues.
Egypt narrowly won their match against Senegal which I earlier predicted.

The super eagles of Nigeria was denied a penalty, they should have won the game had it been they were awarded the penalty, meanwhile the friendly between France and ivory Coast is really interesting to watch, I was amazed by how ivory Coast dominated the match before losing it in the stoppage time. It ought to have ended up in a draw though

Today is the african section of world cup eliminations, morocco is already  behind with one goal against dr of congo waiting for the second half, i had a bet with good odds that morocco can draw draw the score and why not winning the game.

DR Congo vs Morocco is over now and it ended with a draw (1-1). Morocco was able to equalize in minute 76. Then 5 minutes before the end Congo got a red card. Morocco seemed to have shown a slightly better game, but from the statistics it looks like that overall the draw was justified.
Morocco is the favorite now in the 2nd game. Playing at home they should be able to win and qualify for the World Cup.

From the first half we saw the attentions of morroco she went to DR congo not to defend only, she received an early goal but didn't stop attacking, the beginning of second half they had a penalty which they missed and even though they didn't give up till they scored and made the score even again.
Well for algeria as i expected the match wasn't easy but we could score a goal and managed to keep it that way till the end of the match, we saw weird things happend in the stadium, unfortunately Samuel eto wasn't honest about the good preparation for this match as we saw the lights in the second half which stopped the game for over 5 minutes.
And for egypt vs senegal i predicted in my last post that they may revenge after losing the african cup against them.

[Ratash]

Today games were really tough and it seems that some teams managed to win away or get a score that will give them a high chance to get to the world cup like tunisia, algeria and morroco even nigeria got a good result  by getting that 0 0 draw.

Maybe they didnt receive the penalty ,but Ghana was surprisingly much better then Nigeria in this match and i think it will be a lot more intresting in the rematch. Nigeria has a good result so far for the rematch. In front of their fans they will be playing against Ghana and if they attack them hard they will have a good chance

What better chance do you think Nigeria need to make a better position in the African cup of nations games, from the look of things ghana may represent the future if African football on the normal state of thing.

Interesting results from the 1st round play of the African world cup qualifiers. We had a different surprise result.
Cameronians losing to Algeria to 1:0 defeat is what keep surprising me after giving them a whole lot of 11mins extra time. I still don't get it up till now why the 11mins added time.
Nigeria's players should be thankful to their goalkeeper, if not for me, Ghana would have dealt with them. Nigerian players were lost in the match. No coordination, no accurate pass and no midfielder in the match. The second leg of Nigeria, Ghana shouldn't be like this, if not Nigeria will lose

African nations games are some of the most difficult to predict. Reason being that, almost all the teams are on a level platform and it's rear to see matches with an over 3.5 scoreline  nor would you see a particular team with lots of goal difference.  One interesting game for me in today's match day live was Egypt 1-0 Senegal. Both teams gave it there best and Egypt managed to win by a goal that came of Saliou Ciss in an own goal.
It's always something spectacular to watch 2 team mates in Muhammed Salah and Sadio Mane battle themselves in representation of there nations. Nice game anyway, Senegal played quite well but, Egypt had to win.

I think they are easy to predict in the matter of how many goals they will be scored, they don't score a lot and a lot of teams just give up trying after leading by the first goal, but I expect more goals in the 2nd leg because there are no other matches or chance for the teams that are going to be losing and they have to attack and try everything which could result in them scoring or the opposite team taking advantage of counterattacks.

Nigerian did not play anything good because the ball possession indicates that Nigeria did play well, Ghana oppressed Nigeria from the beginning to end of the match and their was no breathing space for Nigeria team, let us wait and watch the returning match, definitely if Nigeria use this method Ghana will win them.

I watched only the Mali-Tunisia match. Tunisia were very lucky with Sissako scoring an own goal at the 36th minute then getting a red card in the 40th minute (within less than 5 minutes!). I thought the red card is going to complicate things for Mali but I was wrong. They dominated the second half and created many scoring opportunities but they lacked the finishing touch.
