Guinea-Bissau came into AFCON 2023 hoping to record their first-ever finals victory, and that endeavor remains the primary goal for the Djutus coming into their third and final group stage game. After 2-0 and 4-2 defeats to Ivory Coast and Equatorial Guinea respectively, Baciro Cande's side have nothing but pride to play.
Nigeria have the luxury of knowing a point will be enough to secure qualification to the knockout stages but the Super Eagles won't be letting up as they seek to maintain the momentum they got from a 1-0 defeat of hosts Ivory Coast last time out. William Troost-Ekong's 55th-minute penalty was the difference that day. The former Watford defender was asked by talismanic forward Victor Osimhen to take the spot-kick in the Napoli striker's stead.
The four best performing third-place teams can still proceed to the last 16, so Nigeria could conceivably progress even with a defeat.
