Nigeria vs Burundi: Possible lineups, kick-off time, TV channel and Livestream
Nigeria faces Burundi in a crucial 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations match, which they must win in order to advance to the quarter-finals.
Following a sluggish start against South Africa, the Super Falcons rebounded to overcome Botswana 2-0 in Rabat, with goals from Ifeoma Onumonu and Christy Ucheibe.
They are currently one point away from ensuring a place in the last eight, where Cameroon awaits if they finish second in Group C.
Coach Gustave Niyonkuru’s Swallows have lost their first two games, but they can still advance to the knockout stage if they easily defeat the reigning African champions.
