Saturday’s showdown at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium comes five months and two weeks after the Super Eagles defeated the Amavubi 2-0 in the latter’s home ground in Kigali in a Matchday 5 encounter.
It also comes nine months and two weeks after an inspired Amavubi came from behind to defeat the Super Eagles 2-1 in a 2025 AFCON final-day qualification match at the same Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
Unfortunately for the Amavubi, the win did not earn them qualification, as Benin Republic took the second ticket from the group behind Nigeria, after drawing with Libya in Tripoli.
While the Amavubi have a date with bottom-placed Zimbabwe on Matchday 8, the Super Eagles must fly to Bloemfontein to confront group leaders South Africa.
