2027 AFCONQ: Super Eagles land in Guinea-Bissau for top-of-the-table clash
Nigeria seek a second straight win as coach Éric Chelle manages injuries and a quick turnaround after a 2-1 comeback over Madagascar.
- On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the Nigeria Super Eagles face Guinea-Bissau at the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau for their second 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in Group L.
- Nigeria opened their campaign last Friday with a 2-1 comeback victory over Madagascar in Uyo, while Guinea-Bissau defeated Tanzania 2-0 in Zanzibar, leaving both nations level on three points.
- Head coach Eric Chelle faces uncertainty regarding strikers George Ilenikhena and Akor Adams, who missed Sunday training, compounding the absence of Victor Osimhen due to a right adductor injury.
- Persistent rainfall in Bissau has left the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro pitch saturated, prompting Guinea-Bissau head coach Emiliano Té to state his team must adapt to the conditions.
- Because Tanzania is already qualified as a co-host, only the top finisher among the remaining three teams joins them at the 2027 finals, making this head-to-head encounter pivotal for Nigeria's qualification hopes.
