The African Cup of Nations qualifiers between Nigeria and Guinea‑Bissau will be broadcast live on StarTimes World Football at 5 p.m. this Friday. Nigeria is expected to field a strong side, featuring some of the continent’s top talent such as Victor Osimhen and Wilfred Ndidi. Osimhen, who has already scored 15 goals for his country, sits ninth on the all‑time scoring list and boasts the best goal‑to‑game ratio among the top ten scorers.

Nigeria have been unbeaten at home since 2021, and the hosts will be looking to deliver a dominant performance in front of an expectant crowd. Guinea‑Bissau, meanwhile, will aim to cause an upset and secure a place in the AFCON tournament. The visitors have struggled on the road, winning only one of their last nine matches across all competitions, and will face a daunting task in Lagos.

Nigeria ended 2022 with a poor run of results, but their first outing of 2023 offers a chance to get back on track. We expect the home side to comfortably see off the threat from their visitors by the final whistle.

All AFCON qualifier matches are airing on StarTimes sports channels. “Non‑StarTimes subscribers can stream the matches live on the StarTimes‑ON mobile app with the N800 weekly MAX VIP subscription. Active StarTimes subscribers on the classic and super bouquets can stream the matches live on their phones via the StarTimes‑ON app at no extra cost by linking their smart‑card numbers,” said Lazarus Ibeabuchi, PR Manager, StarTimes Nigeria.
