The Flamingoes currently occupy top spot in Group A with 4 points same with Canada but with a better goal difference while their opponents on Saturday - Columbia occupy the 3rd spot with 3 points.
Colombia defeated Azerbaijan 4-0 in it's first match and lost by a lone goal to Canada in the second. Nigeria, on the other hand drew 1-1 with Canada in the opening game and pummeled Azerbaijan 11-0 in it's second match.
As it stands, both teams can qualify to the Quarters although the path looks easier for the Nigerians. A draw will see the Flamingoes going on to the next stage of the competition with 5 points while Colombia needs an outright win to advance to the knock-out stage taking it for granted that Canada will defeat Azerbaijan
.The match will be played at the 5,000 capacity Bayil Stadium in Baku and kick-off is 4pm Nigerian time.
So what do you think. . .will it'd be another emphatic victory on Saturday or the story will be different this time? Drop your comments and predictions
