Nigeria Vs Zimbabwe: Four Reasons The Warriors Are Dangerous Customers For The Super Eagles

As Nigeria gear up to host Zimbabwe in a crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, the Super Eagles find themselves in a must-win situation.

A victory would keep the former African champions firmly in contention for a top finish in Group C, but standing in their way is a Zimbabwean side desperate to keep their own faint qualification hopes alive.

While the Super Eagles enter this match on the back of a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Rwanda , Zimbabwe's recent 2-2 draw against Benin showed their fighting spirit. And make no mistake - Michael Nees's men are coming to Uyo with a point to prove.

Here's why Zimbabwe could pose a real threat to Nigeria today.

Zimbabwe sit bottom of Group C with just three points. If they lose today, their hopes of qualifying for their first-ever World Cup will be all but over.
