Nigeria
Nigeria host Sao Tome and Principe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Sunday (September 10) in the final round of the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The hosts have enjoyed a largely solid qualification campaign, qualifying for a third consecutive AFCON finals. Nigeria beat Sierra Leone 3-2 in their last game, squandering a two-goal lead in the second half, before Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late goal to clinch all three points. Nigeria are atop qualifying group A with 12 points from five games.
Sao Tome and Principe
Sao Tome and Principe, meanwhile, have endured another wretched AFCON qualifying campaign as they miss out on the finals again. They lost 1-0 to Guinea-Bissau last time out, falling behind early after the restart and failing to find a way back.
