At Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny on Thursday, Nigeria will play Benin in an attempt to guarantee their place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Tournament.

The two teams have met ten times, with the Cheetahs losing seven of those meetings and winning just two.

In the meantime, the Benin Cheetahs will try to accumulate as many points as possible in order to get closer to attending the event.

The Super Eagles will seek to earn as many points as possible, especially as Benin lacks a decent venue and the game will be played in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

A single point versus Benin would guarantee the squad a spot at AFCON 2025.

If Rwanda secures maximum points against the Mediterranean Knights this week, Benin might tumble to third position going into the last match against Libya if they lose to Nigeria.

How both teams line up

Benin Starting XI

Dandjinou, Moumini, Ouorou, Roche, Tijani, D’Almeida, Dokou, Hassane, Olaitan, Mounie, Aiyegun
