• Kakamega Homeboyz vs AFC Leopards Prediction: Kenya Premier League Match on 29.05.2022

Match Preview

Can Mexico begin their World Cup Preparations with a Morale Boosting Win?

Raul Jimenez ended the season as joint top scorer for Wolves with six goals and topped the assist charts with five in 36 appearances for the team in the English Premier League.
The match against Nigeria will serve as the official beginning of the road to Qatar for Mexico after most domestic seasons across Europe ended. 
Mexico will dominate possession and control the tempo of the match. Nigeria will be pragmatic and solid as they seek to use transitions and set-piece to trouble the Mexican defense.
Two of the three draws came in the World Cup Qualifier third round doubleheader against Ghana, with the first leg in Accra ending in a 0-0 stalemate while the second leg in Abuja ended in a costly 1-1 with the Super Eagles failing to make it to the World Cup.

Can Nigeria Show that they can be Competitive against World Cup Teams?

Gerardo Martino will be looking to extend Mexico’s unbeaten run to eight matches when they face Nigeria on Sunday, as they pick up steam in readiness for the World Cup opener against Poland in Qatar in November. 
Gernot Rohr, the German manager in charge of the Super Eagles, will be eager to provide Nigeria with a platform to rebound from their failure to qualify for Qatar 2022 after the agonizing exit at the hands of rivals Ghana n away goals after a 1-1 draw in Abuja.
The match against Mexico provides the marquee opposition that Nigeria can use as a springboard to help the country to move on from the fact that they will not be representing Africa at the biggest football event in the world.

Form Guide

Mexico

Over the last ten competitive outings, the Super Eagles have won six times, drawn thrice, and lost once.

Mexico are unbeaten in seven matches; they have won four times and drawn three times in this run.

Nigeria

Jimenez will lead Mexico’s attack heading into the world cup and his selfless runs and cutting edge in front of goal will be vital for Mexico’s hopes of progressing deeper into the World Cup.

Players to Watch

R. Jimenez

Victor Osimhen ended the season with an impressive 18 goals and two assists in 32 appearances. Although this did not propel Napoli to the Scudetto, Osimhen showed his worth in Serie A.
The Napoli forward is a major asset for the Super Eagles, and he was dearly missed in the Africa Cup of Nations when he was ruled out with injury.
