Nigeria meets Burundi in round 1 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Saturday, June 22nd at Alexandria Stadium (Alexandria)
In parallel with the Copa America, a big tournament will start very soon on another continent, the African one. This time the organizers decided to expand the number of participants by sending to Egypt 24 teams instead of 16, which took part in the last championship of the “black” continent... The titled Nigeria team is among them, and it won the African Cup of Nations not so long ago, in 2013. In my opinion, the Super Eagles will not experience any special problems to achieve a positive result in the upcoming game, because the Nigerians currently look better than their opponent in the face of the Burundi team. A vast majority of football fans simply don’t know about the existence of such a team! Further, I would like to remind you what players are now in the squad of Nigeria. They defend the colors of many famous European clubs. For example: Ola Aina (Torino, Italy), Kenneth Omeruo (Leganes, Spain), William Ekong (Udinese, Italy), Leon Balugon (Brighton, England), Alex Iwobi (Arsenal, England), Samuel Kalu (Bordeaux, France), etc.

As for the nominal visitors, they take part in a major international tournament for the first time in their history. Thus, they have absolutely no experience in such important competitions, which, in my opinion, will become the decisive criterion for identifying the winner.
I’m waiting for a quite predictable victory of Nigeria over tiny Burundi with a 1-2 goal difference!
Prediction for the match: Nigeria to win with -1.0 handicap
