Cape Verde Vs Nigeria: Time and Where to Watch Super Falcons final 2024 WAFCON Qualifier

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will return to action later today when they take on Cape Verde in the second leg of their Women African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifier.

During the first leg in Nigeria, two goals apiece from Uchenna Kanu and Esther Okonkwo and another from Monday Gift helped the Super Falcons run riot - winning 5-0 on the day.

The return leg will be played later today, and a win or draw will guarantee Nigeria's participation at the 2024 WAFCON.

When the Super Falcons file out against Cape Verde, they will be without the services of star striker Asisat Oshoala.

The Barcelona Femeni forward withdrew from the squad that prosecuted the previous game against Cape Verde. Other absentees include Michelle Alozie, Jennifer Echegini, Ashleigh Plumptre, and Benfica's Christy Ucheibe.

Coach Justin Madugu will be looking to wrap up the WAFCON qualifiers in some style, but it won’t be surprising to see a few new faces get some game time. 

Newcomer Omorinsola Babajide, who was part of the squad that thrashed Cape Verde the last time, is expected to get some minutes in this game.

However, coach Madugu will still rely on experienced players like Chiamaka Nnadozie, Deborah Abiodun, Toni Payne, and Uchenna Kanu. 

Abiodun Deborah put in a stellar man-of-the-match performance in the last match, dominating the midfield, and is expected to retain her place for this game.    

Also, Toni Payne is expected to dictate the tempo of the game from the middle of the park, while trusted stand-in captain Rasheedat Ajibade will provide some steel from the flanks. 

Upfront, Uchenna Kanu will likely retain her place, leading the line.

The Super Falcons will play their final WAFCON qualifier against Verde on Tuesday, December 5, at the Santiago-Estadio Nacional Blue Shark in Praia.

The game will kick off at 6 PM Nigerian time and will be available on DSTV and the official NFF YouTube channel.

Prediction: Cape  Verde 0 Super Falcons 4.
