Meanwhile, Algeria has kept itself unbeaten, with a signature 1‑0 win over Botswana. The Algerians maintained a clean sheet draw against Tunisia, securing four points.
Nigeria’s Coach Justine Madugu plans some strategic rotation. He will provide rest for key players like Deborah Abiodun and Asisat Oshoala, to test depth ahead of a potential meeting with hosts Morocco or Zambia.
Meanwhile, under French coach Farid Benstiti, Les Vertes believe in their growing cohesion and tactical discipline, with Marine Dafeur speaking of her team’s readiness to “give Nigeria a real fight.”
Nigeria’s lineup:
Goalkeeper: Chiamaka Nnadozie
Defenders: Oladipo – Demehin – Onome Ohale – Plumptre
Midfield: Christy Ucheibe – Ayinde – Jennifer Echegini
Forwards: Esther Okoronkwo – Chinwendu Ihezuo – Folashade Ijamilusi
Algeria’s lineup:
Algeria is likely to play 4-4-2. With captain Naima Bouhani reportedly injured, their attacking shape may shift. Coach Benstiti expects a disciplined midfield anchored by Marine Dafeur and a backline focused on structure.

All predictions point to a Nigeria win, but tolerably tighter than previous meetings.
