Nigeria take on the visitors Senegal in the friendly match. The game will be played on Thursday, March 23rd.
Nigeria failed its qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations last year and didn’t compete for the title of the strongest team in Africa last winter. Despite the fiasco at the Africa Cup of Nations, Nigerian national football team is still among the African strongest teams and it is confirmed by its results in 2016 and its successful play in the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Last season Nigeria played 11 matches recording seven victories, two draws and two defeats. Nigerians come up to this match with five wins in a row: 1:0 vs. Mali, 3:1 vs. Luxembourg, 1:0 vs. Tanzania, 2:1 vs. Zambia and 3:1 vs. Algeria.

Senegal is also one of the strongest teams in Africa at the moment. In winter Senegal team became the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finalist, losing to Cameroon, which eventually won the title, only by penalty. As for 2016/17 statistics, Senegal team recorded 10 wins alongside with two draws and two defeats in 14 played matches. Taking into consideration the fact that the team was knocked out from the Africa Cup of Nations without single lose, the Senegal's unbeaten run consists of six matches and has lasted since the 8th of January 2017.
Nigeria and Senegal played five head-to-heads with three victories of the Nigeria football team and two draws. Both teams lose rarely, being considered as favourites of all the African football competitions they participate in. I believe that Nigeria will be closer to a victory, considering results of head-to-heads and their home-field advantage.
Prediction for the match: Nigeria to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
