Days after suffering a home defeat to Guinea-Bissau in the first-leg of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier, Nigerian Super Eagles have travelled to Guinea-Bissau for the second-leg of the game.

Nigerian Super Eagles will face Guinea-Bissau at Estádio 24 de Setembro on Monday for the second-leg of the game.
With seven points in three games, Guinea-Bissau are top of Group A, while Nigeria rank second with six points in three games.
