He said:

“Algeria have dominated recent encounters with Nigeria, winning all of the last four matches across friendlies, AFCON and World Cup qualifiers, with a 4 goals difference between Algeria 6 – 2 Nigeria.

"Nigeria’s attack looks more potent and balanced, with multiple goal threats. While Algeria’s defense has been solid and tight. Going with the head to head stats, Algeria are slight favourites, but the odds suggest close contests.

"In my own opinion I see it as a full time draw or Algeria edging for a win again. How did you see this match and what is your prediction. WHO WINS."

"First of all a win for my country is the way for all so I'm giving Nigeria the winning ticket. I wish them all the best to succeed and bring the trophy home."

@endwelljohn2022 said:

"Recent head-to-head favours Algeria, but Nigeria’s attack looks sharper and more balanced. I see a tight game: most likely a draw, or Algeria edging it by a narrow win."

@Obialunuju said:

"Nigeria will win. Good luck to Super Eagles. I claim it, by God's grace."

@miz__mk said:

"Tough one! Algeria has the history, but Nigeria’s attack looks sharper this time. Could go either way, leaning towards a tight draw or Algeria scraping a win."

@Kingprince006 said:

"North African countries are good I hope Algeria will not deal with us badly."
