Benin – the shape of the team and its analysis
The "Squirrels" have only participated in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) four times in their history, with their quarter-final appearance in 2019 being a major surprise. However, they failed to qualify for the subsequent two editions of the tournament.
Experienced coach Gernot Rohr took over in February last year. Despite his experience, the team managed only one technical victory. In the qualifiers, they secured a draw against Lesotho and finally achieved success with a narrow 1-0 win over Rwanda.
Nigeria – the shape of the team and its analysis
The "Super Eagles" reached the final of the winter AFCON, gathering 7 points in the group stage and defeating Cameroon, Angola, and South Africa (on penalties) in the knockout rounds. However, they lost the final 2-1 to the host nation, Ivory Coast.
In the spring, the team was taken over by local legend Finidi George. His main task is to compensate for the poor start in the qualifiers: in the autumn, the favorite drew at home with Lesotho and away with Zimbabwe. George's debut match was against South Africa. The team needs to continue building momentum.
