Prediction: Liberia 0-3 Nigeria
Nigeria is on top of their game and favourites to qualify from this group. A clash against the bottom placed, Liberia comes at the right time and we see the Super Eagles gaining a comfortable win here.
The hosts have lost their spirit to fight and contest due to which we do not see them putting Nigeria under any pressure.
