2 min read

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will Wednesday afternoon file out for what is their final test game ahead of the World Cup in Russia.

In their last three matches, the Super Eagles are yet to win any game, hence it is expected that they will be eager to go all out for a win in Vienna.

After the narrow win against Poland, the Eagles lost to Serbia and England, but pulled a draw against Congo DR.

Wednesday’s encounter at the Rudolf Tonn Stadium between Czech Republic and Nigeria will be the third official meeting between both countries.

The two previous encounters ended in a draw and victory for the Czechs.

Stay with PREMIUM TIMES for live updates.

Kick off is 2 p.m.

First Half Analysis: Czech Rep. 1-0 Nigeria

Not too cohesive from the Eagles as the team conceded too many set pieces, especially corner kicks, from which the Czech Republic took the lead on 26 minutes through Tomas Kalas, who pounced on a rebound off Francis Uzoho. More needs to be done in the offensive third by the Eagles to get back into the game in the second half.
