Nigeria will look to throw Group B into utter chaos against co-hosts Australia on Thursday.
After earning a surprising draw against Canada in its first World Cup match, Nigeria will look to throw Group B into utter chaos against co-hosts Australia on Thursday (6 a.m. ET).
The bookmakers aren’t giving the Super Eagles much of a chance to pull the upset — they’re currently sitting at +675 to win — but Nigeria has already shown it’s not a pushover.
Nigeria benefited from a missed penalty kick from Canada in the nil-nil draw, but this wasn’t a fluke effort.
