England – Nigeria Soccer Prediction

A few days before the start of the 2018 World Cup, England will begin its preparation campaign. For this, Gareth Southgate’s men welcome Nigeria to Wembley Stadium. After a clear round in the playoffs (eight wins and two draws), Harry Kane’s teammates quietly secured their ticket to Russia. For its part, Nigeria has emerged from a very delicate pool in qualifying. Opposed to Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia, the Nigerians did not suffer the slightest defeat and finished easily at the top of their group. If the African nation should be taken very seriously by the selection of the Three Lions, the English team seems daunting in front of its supporters. Having lost at home since nine games, England could succeed in building confidence during this phase of preparation.

Led by a new generation, the selection of Three Lions will have arguments to make for the international event. For that, Gareth Southgate surely hopes that his men will do the job against Nigeria.
