Tension in Abuja as Super Eagles Face Ghana in Must Win Battle (Preview, Kickoff Time)

• Super Eagles of Nigeria will on Tuesday evening, 29 March, host the Black Stars of Ghana in final World Cup play-off
• The first encounter between these two nations in Kumasi ended in goalless draw despite both having chances
• Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is expected to lead the attack again for the Super Eagles against Ghana in Abuja

There will be serious tension in Abuja on Tuesday evening, 29 March, when the Super Eagles of Nigeria face Black Stars of Ghana in a must win encounter for the 2022 World Cup ticket.

Following Friday's draw in Kumasi, Ghana have now failed to win any of their last five games across all competitions, while Nigeria have managed just one win in their last five home games.

But one thing the Super Eagles players should have at the back of their minds is that the Black Stars will aim to score in Abuja, and if they do so, that could be a serious problem for Nigeria.
