The Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo hosts the Nigeria – Madagascar clash, first matchday of the qualifiers. The Super Eagles remain favorites, with two victories in the last three meetings.

But the Barea have not forgotten June 30, 2019. That day, Madagascar surprised by winning 2-0 against Nigeria in the CAN. A feat that remains in the memories.

Without Victor Osimhen, Nigeria must be wary. Romuald Rakotondrabe's men want to strike hard from the start to launch their campaign.
