Fortunately Ghana top their group table and have almost secure their qualification. I say almost because it will take only a loss in their next game and Madagascar beat their opponents. I’m thinking that since Ghana couldn’t beat Comoros in the first leg, will they be able to do it this time? I don’t know.

They will. Ghana is way better than the other teams in their group and I don't know why they underestimated Madagascar at that game. Well there is Mali which used to be good too in the past but they are quite weak right now. We will see if they can stand against Madagascar next time, otherwise Ghana to qualify.
Nigeria game will start soon against Lesotho with Osimhen and Lookman in the starting eleven. They have no other choice than winning the game.

Today I closed my eyes to to predict for Nigeria to win against Lesotho, I am not expecting Nigeria to draw this game and if they do draw this game then I will not bet on them again until all the players of this current square is changed plus the coach. In my betting slip, I have 4 games and  Uruguay has win their games with a cash out of N4,500 but I will not cash out and my only fear is Nigeria. If they draw that game they would cut my slip. Will Nigeria win?

Ghana only needs one point in their match against Comoros to qualify for the World Cup which looks very possible to achieve in their match on Wednesday. Madagascar who is just three point difference from them will be hoping for a loss to Ghana after losing to Comoros in their first leg. This is a very decisive match for Ghana and I think they can achieve that with their strength as a team in this game.

It’s about twenty minutes into the first half of the game and Nigeria has taken the possession in the game so far. They’ve not been able to create any clear chance yet but it looks they will be the one to take the lead before the end of the first half. I believe Lesotho shouldn’t be so hard for them to beat looking from the condition they’re into now and their chances for qualification been slim. I predict a win for Nigeria in this game.

The 3 teams that are the top 3 in their group are all playing away from home today and at the same time. Nigeria play away against Lesotho, Benin Republic plays away against Rwanda and South Africa plays away against Zimbabwe all at the same time. This game still further shape how the group will be for these 3 teams and I think South Africa will benefit the more if the happen to win today's match because the last match for the qualifiers will be held few days from today and two teams out of these 3 will play against eachother that's Benin Republic Vs Nigeria and South Africa will be hoping for a draw from them.

It will be hard for the three  toping clubs to win their games today, because their opponents will do what will make them to use home power to play them to make them lose points because their fans will be on ground to watch how the game will end.

Anything that will make south Africa, Benin Republic and Nigerian to lose against their opponents, it will make people to doubt their faith of winning this world cup even though they qualify to world cup today, because people are expecting them to beat their opponents in their home to secure points that will make people to have hope in this tournament.

You’re betting on Nigeria lol. I don’t think I have ever done that or will. My emotions are already at stake I don’t want to add my money to that. Good luck on your bet though. Obviously I want Super Eagles to win but I wouldn’t back them with my hard earned money.

Trust the current Super Eagles at your own risk because they are not consistent. But we still have to support our country. The Nigerian team is dominating the match in Peter Mokaba Stadium but the problem is scoring goals. Even if the other top teams lose their match today, Nigeria needs more goals to qualify. I am patiently waiting for a goal feast today.

Honestly, it is impossible to predict the performance of these African teams. None of the teams here are that strong. Even if they qualify for the World Cup, they will be eliminated in the first round.

In the South Africa vs Zimbabwe match, both teams can be considered equally strong. South Africa failed to win against Nigeria in their last match. Benin is playing against Rwanda. In the last few matches, we have seen a good performance from Benin Republic. But today in the match against Rwanda, we have not seen a good performance from Benin in the 25th minute. They have not been able to score a single shot yet.
An interesting thing is that now 4 matches of CAF WC qualification are being held. In the 30th minute, no team has been able to score a goal.

If South Africa wins Zimbabwe, we may be going no where. Zimbabwe said they will not be the reason Nigeria will not qualify, that they will try their best, but they are the worst in the group. The chance that South Africa will not win Zimbabwe in today's match is very low but I am not too confident in Nigeria because of the situation they put themselves into. We are lucky but we f up. Let us see what will happen today.

Lesotho Vs Nigeria should be a game for Nigeria to win fairly despite playing away from home, it wouldn't be an excuse they even draw the game because the odds are that their chances to qualify even in a play off to the world cup is in their winning their next two games which also follow with this ongoing game. By stats of head to head Nigeria has always won Lesotho, so am hoping they might save you bet this time.. it's currently a deadlock in the 40th minutes.

I’m thinking that since Ghana couldn’t beat Comoros in the first leg, will they be able to do it this time? I don’t know.

Ghana is already leading Madagascar with three points, which brings them close to qualifying for the World Cup, but they just need to draw their next match to book a spot in next year's World Cup. Ghana's first leg against Comoros was on Comoros' home soil, which I think was the main reason why Ghana couldn't defeat Comoros. But since Comoros will be visiting Ghana, I believe Ghana will win against Comoros.

Even Nigeria that Zimbabwe are trying to protect are busy playing rubbish, I tuned in around 15 minutes to watch the Lesotho Vs Nigeria match, to my surprise, from that 15 minutes to 31 minutes, neither Lesotho or Nigeria that's looking for a win made at least an attempt on goal. It was that bad, for more than 15 minutes, the ball was just turning around the midfield with nothing to show for it.

My heart is beating faster. First half is over and nothing to show that Nigeria is going to win the game though they have more ball possession but lack skills to score goals. Let me go and Cash out before it disappears. The way the game is, it will be draw and once it is draw then Nigeria should not Play their last game again. Because will be a waste of time. I was having that strong believe that Super Eagles would win the game because their opponent is not a popular team and it is not strong as others yet Super Eagles can't score a goal in the first half to make fans believe that the match is a sure-p. Ooh my bet. Nigeria why?

[Rruchi man]

Lesotho Vs Nigeria should be a game for Nigeria to win fairly despite playing away from home,

The first half ends in a draw for the Super Eagles, and what I can see in this game is that the strategy of our coach and the Super Eagles is for the long balls to continue being played into the Lesotho penalty box with the expectation that either Osimhen or Tolu can get a header on to the ball. That strategy has not worked in this first half, and perhaps the coach may need to adjust some things because if they go into the second half with the same pattern, this game will not end desirably for the Super Eagles.

Lesotho have been very disciplined defending, and Nigeria have been disappointing.

From my observations in the first half, it will be a total disappointment if Nigeria fails to win Lesotho because they don't have the quality to stop Nigeria from winning the match. Lesotho only saw Nigeria goal post twice in the first half and Nigeria was busy spending most of the time at Lesotho defense. The deadlock hasn't been broken yet as Nigeria missed their last chance of scoring their first goal on the last minutes before the halftime whistle.

Even if Zimbabwe are the worst team in the Super Eagles' group, I like the fact that they said they won't be the reason why Nigeria will not qualify because they are ready to fight South Africa with their last drop just to make South Africa drop points today so that they can create a pathway for Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup. Zimbabwe and South Africa have played the first 45 minutes, and Zimbabwe is still keeping to their word.

We can see a better performance from Tunisia. In the 48th minute of the match, Tunisia scored their fourth goal. On the other hand, the opponent Sao Tame could not score any goal. The attacks of Tunisia players are quite sharp today. Tunisia has made 4 on target shots so far. And they have been able to score all four goals. Sao Tame's defense and goalkeeper's performance are very weak.
Except for the Tuinisia vs Sao Tame match, the rest of the matches are probably very boring. Although I do not watch the other matches, but none of the teams could score in the other matches. I had bet on South Africa and Nigeria to win. I might lose the money today.

So with this observation of yours what do you think, in my opinion even though Lesotho were not seen much in super eagles defense, that does not still dispute the fact they can still score, this kind of match is supposed to be taken very serious by favourite team which is the supper eagles of Nigeria, the super eagles is supposed to be leading by now with multiple goals, we keep complaining even when we face teams that we should have ordinarily win at ease, with the look of things if Nigeria will win this match, it is obvious that's the goals won't be more than 1 goal, am just saying, we don't need excuses from the supers eagles again is, they should just secure this winning and allow people to rest.

well I think Nigeria have just found the net and have taken the lead and if the game ends in the current stand as it now Nigeria will be one step closer to making it possible for them to qualify. South Africa and benin are currently drawing their own games and hopefully they will end like that or even possible for one of them to lose so that Nigeria will be on the same point if they win with either of the loser of those two fixtures.

[Youngrebel]

Finally Super Eagles is winning now with 1 goal to nil. From the way the team mates of Super Eagles performing on the field, they are doing well in the match but they lack scoring skills as I said. 1 goal is not a celebrating goal because if there is any slide mistake from the Super Eagles, the game will be draw and that will cut my slip again. I am also interested to protect my slip to go through. If they win with the 1 goal. It is okay, let me take home will the small amount first.
