Concise News reports that with the Super Eagles already with a round-of-16 ticket, and Madagascar needing at least a point to finish comfortably second in group B, the game should be finely poised.
M A T C H DAY! Goodluck to our who face Madagascar tonight in Alexandria. Let’s wrap up this stage in style!

Newcomers Madagascar have so far been the surprise package of Africa’s biggest football party.
In the more likely event that the Indian Ocean islanders lose to the three-time African champions, however, they still look good to book a last-16 place as one of the four best third-placed finishers. It would be a remarkable achievement for a nation ranked so low.
