Nigerians Share Their Views On Super Eagles’ Unsuccessful Streak In Friendly Matches Since 2019....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are determined to secure their first victory in an international friendly match since 2019, following a streak of 15 friendly games without a win.
Facing the lowly-rated Mozambique at Portugal’s Estadio Municipal de Albufeira, the Super Eagles are striving to end their winless streak. This match comes less than three days after their 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia at the same venue.
Should Coach Jose Pasiero and his team fail to secure a win in the game, it would mark the 16th consecutive international friendly without a victory for the Nigerian side.
The last time the Super Eagles encountered Mozambique was in January 2014 when Nigeria won 4-2. Currently, the Nigerian team is entering the friendly game on the back of five defeats in their last six friendly matches. In contrast, Mozambique has won three and lost three of their last six friendly matches, giving them an advantage going into today’s game.
Prior to their draw with Saudi Arabia, the Super Eagles had suffered nine losses and secured six draws in their last 15 friendly games, following their win against Egypt in March 2019.
Following Friday’s 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia, Jose Paseiro’s team had experienced a successful streak, winning three of their last three 2023 AFCON qualifying matches with an impressive 10-goal total and two clean sheets. They finished at the top of Group A with 15 points from six games.
Today’s game against Mozambique is crucial for the Super Eagles as they aim to break their friendly game drought in preparation for the commencement of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November.
