THE PREDICTION

Nigeria are the obvious favourites to win Group L and they go into this match against Sierra Leone with six points to their name from their opening two games - courtesy of back-to-back wins against Benin (2-1) and Lesotho (2-4). Gernot Rohr has some exciting young players in his squad who are keen to make their mark at senior international level, and one of these players - Napoli’s Victor Osimhen - found the three times in those two aforementioned games. Sierra Leone managed just one point and one goal from their opening two fixtures in the group and things are not likely to get any better for them here. A win for Nigeria by a two-goal margin is the predicted outcome.
