Rwanda vs Nigeria prediction
As the curtain draws on the September edition of the international break, Rwanda will host the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Tuesday evening to wrap up this session of the 2025 African Nations Cup qualifiers.

Having laid a concrete qualification foundation, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be looking to build on their newly found form and go on to crush Rwanda to increase their advantage as group leaders. Therefore, Our Rwanda vs Nigeria prediction is a correct scoreline of 1-2 in favor of Nigeria and we recommend the correct score market.
