England – Nigeria Soccer Prediction
Both teams prepare the World Cup in Russia. No benefit in terms of motivation
State of form
Undefeated for almost a year, England has quietly finished 1st in its qualifying group, far ahead of Slovakia and Scotland. Big outsider of the next World Cup in Russia, the nation managed by Gareth Southgate remains on 4 friendly matches of prestige, won by 3 draws against Brazil (0-0), Germany (0-0) and Italy (1-1), as well as a good victory gleaned against the Netherlands (0-1).
Easy winner of their pool in qualifying, Nigeria has preceded Zambia, Cameroon and Algeria to validate his ticket for the 2018 World Cup. Subsequently, the Super Eagles have achieved a nice run in the African Cup of Nations this winter, but they completely cracked in the final against Morocco (4-0). Note that the partners of Alex Iwobi come to chain 2 bad results in friendly, against Serbia (defeat 2-0) and against a team of Congo decimated this week (1-1)
The staff for England – Nigeria
English coach Gareth Southgate has finally unveiled his roster for the World Cup in Russia. We thus find the usual leaders like Walker (Man City), Cahill (Chelsea), Young, Jones (Man Utd), Dier (Tottenham), Henderson (Liverpool), Sterling (City Man), Alli, Kane (Tottenham), Welbeck (Arsenal), Rashford (Man Utd) or Vardy (Leicester). Of note are the absence of goalkeeper Hart (West Ham), defender Smalling (Man Utd) and Wilshere (Arsenal) and Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool). Excellent with Liverpool this season, the young side Alexander-Arnold is in the group, as the promising midfielder Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea). The No. 1 goalkeeper position should be played between Butland (Stoke City) and Pickford (Everton).
For Nigeria, few known heads are to report in the defenders if not the former Monegasque Elderson Echiéjilé and the Chidozie Awaziem Nantais. However, the midfielder is well equipped with the presence of Captain John Obi Mikel (Tianjin Teda), Victor Moses (Chelsea), Ogenyi Onazi (Trabzonspor), Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester) and John Obi (Torino). In attack, we find Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow), Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) and Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester).
England – Nigeria Prediction
Pushed by the public of Wembley, England should begin this preparation by a logical success against Nigeria. Victory of England
