Rwanda's journey in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers began with a gritty draw against Libya, where Innocent Nshuti showcased his talent by equalizing in the second half. Now, with the Super Eagles of Nigeria soaring confidently after their impressive 3-0 victory over Benin Republic, all eyes will be on the Amahoro Stadium as these two teams clash on Tuesday. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see if Rwanda can outshine Nigeria, or if the Eagles will continue their quest for dominance in Group D.

As the Super Eagles gear up for this crucial encounter, interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has made strategic adjustments to his lineup. Victor Osimhen, one of Africa's most celebrated strikers, has been benched, paving the way for Lookman and Boniface to show off their skills. This decision raises eyebrows and sparks conversations amongst fans, who want to see if these fresh faces can deliver the goods against a seemingly rejuvenated Rwandan side. With the match kicking off, fans can stream live updates and commentary to ensure they don’t miss a moment of the action.

Rwanda, known as the Amavubi, boasts a relatively strong form, losing just one of their last eight matches. This puts them in a spirited position going into this match against Nigeria. However, history points to the Super Eagles as the team with experience and determination. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter, as Rwanda aims to use home advantage to upset the visitors and potentially upset the apple cart of expectations in the qualifiers.

As both teams take to the field, the excitement is palpable. Nigeria's Super Eagles are hungry to maintain their unbeaten streak and solidify their position at the top of Group D. On the other hand, the Amavubi will be keen to reinforce their reputation on the international stage. While Nigerians will no doubt be chanting for their heroes, we can expect a vibrant crowd in Kigali supporting their national unit, potentially leading to a nail-biting finish.
