Nigeria vs Mozambique: Match Preview as Super Eagles chase first win in 15 matches vs Mambas
The Nigeria Super Eagles will continue their quest to end their 15-match winless streak in friendlies when they take on fellow African nation Mozambique on Monday.
Both nations will go head-to-head at the same venue in Portugal where the Super Eagles played out a four-goal thriller against the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Nigeria Super Eagles' poor run
Despite a rich footballing history, Jose Peseiro’s Super Eagles have flattered to deceive in warm-up matches.
In their recent encounters, results have been marked by draws and defeats, having drawn seven and lost eight of the previous 15.
The Super Eagles did come close to ending that poor run in their last match against Saudi Arabia, but a late free kick from the Falcons denied Peseiro a first international friendly win.
With Mozambique on the horizon, Nigeria has another chance to try to turn the tide in its favour.
Mozambique to test Nigeria
While Nigeria looks to return to winning ways, the Mambas will not be a stroll in the park for Peseiro’s men in Portugal.
The Mambas are unbeaten in their last three matches, having won two and drawn the other. They will be determined to go all out against the Eagles.
Nigeria and Mozambique four times, with the Super Eagles winning three of the previous four meetings. The Eagles hope their dominance in this clash will inspire them to an expected win.
