Zimbabwe, bottom of the group with three points, earned a 2-2 draw at home against Benin Republic in their last outing. After the match, they traveled to Lagos and then Uyo, where Tuesday’s game will be held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
The first-leg clash on November 19, 2023, finished 1-1, with Zimbabwe’s Walter Musona scoring a stunning free-kick before Kelechi Iheanacho equalized from the spot. Now under new head coach Eric Chelle, Nigeria aims to deliver a stronger performance and secure a vital win at home.
