Nigeria’s performance has been dominant thus far, with 10 points accrued from four matches. Benin Republic, in second place with six points, stumbled against Rwanda in the previous round, placing additional pressure on them to secure a positive result against the Eagles. A win for Nigeria would virtually secure their top position in the group. For the Cheetahs, however, a loss could be disastrous, as they could still be tossed if they lose their last two games and Rwanda, on five, earn a minimum of two points in their own final two. Even Libya, with only one point, can still leap over Benin Republic if they beat Rwanda in Kigali, the Cheetahs are bumped by the Eagles, and the Knights rout the Cheetahs in North Africa on Monday.
