The Super Eagles of Nigeria will be taking on the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in a must-win game to qualify for the AFCON 2019 games, after beating Libya on home soil a few weeks back to top Group E.
The game against Bafana Bafana of South Africa will be played on Saturday 17 November 2018 at the FNB Stadium. Kickoff is 3pm. It will be a tough one, as the South African side recorded their first win of the AFCON qualifiers in Nigeria, which will be a motivation for them.
