Nigeria vs Tanzania: Preview
Nigeria's AFCON qualifying campaign was overshadowed by their Libya airport saga, in which players were stuck in a remote terminal.
The disciplinary committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) awarded the Super Eagles a 3-0 win after players were held for over 16 hours before kick-off in Benghazi.
Losing just one game from six, Chelle's side will hope to repeat successes in 1980, 1992 and 2013, with a strong squad to choose from.
Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi have all been called up, with Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina left out due to recent injury problems.
Tanzania amassed a solid return of ten points from six games to book their place at AFCON 2025.
Losing twice to group winners DR Congo marked their only defeats, as they pipped Guinea by a point to make it a fourth appearance at the competition.
Hemed Morocco is only in interim charge of the side, with Rochdale forward Tarryn Allarakhia and Salford City defender Haji Mnoga included in his squad.
Captain Mbwana Samatta plays his football for Le Harve and has 22 goals in 85 caps to his name.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Nigeria 3-1 Tanzania
The Super Eagles looked good in qualifying, and with Osimhen in fine form, we are predicting a victory for Nigeria.
