Nigeria has yet to secure a win in the World Cup qualifiers. Benin is a solid and resilient team.

The Benin national team has already played three matches in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, garnering four points. In the first match, they lost to South Africa 1-2, then drew 0-0 with Lesotho, and in their most recent game on June 6, they narrowly defeated Rwanda 1-0. Currently, the team is in third place in their group, trailing Rwanda on goal difference and one point behind Lesotho.

It’s worth noting that Benin missed the last Africa Cup of Nations. In March, they played two friendlies, drawing with Ivory Coast and losing 0-1 to Senegal.

Benin has never played in the final stages of the World Cup. The team is currently ranked 97th in the FIFA rankings.

Despite having a strong squad, Nigeria faces significant challenges. In their three qualifying matches, they have yet to secure a victory, drawing 1-1 with Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Nigeria currently has three points from three matches, placing them fifth in their qualifying group. However, the gap to the first and second spots is not insurmountable—one and two points respectively—so a win in this match could bring Nigeria closer to advancing to the next stage of qualification.

Nigeria missed the last World Cup, with their most recent appearance in 2018, where they failed to progress from the group stage. Their best achievement has been reaching the Round of 16, but they have never advanced beyond that point.

Currently, Nigeria is ranked 30th in the FIFA rankings.

Prediction: Nigeria-0.5
