Nigeria vs Australia: Women’s World Cup

“On Thursday, Nigeria will face co-host Australia in the Women’s World Cup.”

After a goalless draw against Canada, Nigerians are encouraging the Super Falcons to give their all in their second Group B match against co-host Australia at Lang Park Stadium on Thursday, July 27, at 11 am Nigeria time.

Currently, Australia leads the group with three points, while Nigeria and Canada each have one point. Bookmakers give Australia a high 70 percent probability of winning against Nigeria’s 10 percent, with a 20 percent chance of a draw.

Australia has a stronger head-to-head record against Nigeria, having defeated the Super Falcons 2-0 during the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup on June 12.

Despite the odds, the nine-time African champions are eager for what promises to be an intriguing encounter with the Matildas. The return of suspended players Rasheedat Ajibade and Halimatu Ayinde, along with the presence of versatile Jennifer Echegini and powerful forward Desire Oparanozie, is expected to add strength to the Super Falcons’ performance and potentially surprise the bookmakers.

Henry Okonkwo, a sports analyst in Lagos, believes that with the suspended players back in contention, the Super Falcons will perform better than their previous match against Canada. He is confident in the team’s abilities to beat Australia if they can improve their overall performance.

Adia Sowho, the chief marketing officer of MTN Nigeria, expresses strong support for the Super Falcons, praising their success, strength, passion, and unwavering spirit, which serves as an inspiration to everyone.

Super Falcons captain Onome Ebi states that the match against Australia will be challenging, but the team is in high spirits and well-prepared. The players are aware that every team in the tournament poses a significant challenge.

Defender Osinachi Ohale emphasizes the importance of not wasting good scoring opportunities and states that the team is approaching the tournament one game at a time, focusing on correcting their mistakes.

Looking ahead, the Super Falcons will also face the Republic of Ireland on Monday, July 31. Their ultimate goal is to surpass their best World Cup performance, achieved in 1999, when they reached the quarterfinals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
