Nigeria will play their final warm-up game against the Czech Republic on Wednesday, June 6, as they look to put finishing touches to their preparations ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
The Nigeria Super Eagles are one of the dominant forces in African football and they find themselves in the World Cup finals once again this summer.
Since qualifying for the first time in 1994, the Super Eagles have missed only one tournament (failing to qualify for Germany in 2006), but are yet to make it as far as the final eight stage.
They have been handed a tough group in Russia too with Lionel Messi’s Argentina alongside newbies Iceland and dark horses Croatia.
After the game against Czech, Nigeria will head out to Russia to begin their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign which kicks-off in less than two weeks.
Nigeria’s Potential Starting X1: Uzoho, Abdullahi, Balogun, Troost-Ekong, Idowu, Ndidi, John Ogu, Mikel, Moses, Ighalo, Iwobi.
Czech Republic potential starting XI: Vaclik; Kaderabek, Suchy, Kalas, Novak; Darida, Soucek; Krmencik, Barak, Kopic; Schick.
Date, Time and Venue of the match:
- June 6th, 2018
- 2:00 pm (Nigerian time)
- Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion, Austria.
Prediction:
Nigeria 2:0 Czech Republic
