3 MUST-WATCH matches involving Nigerians today

There are several super clashes slated for today across the world as teams continue to push to end the season on a high.

Nigerians will be in action from the Italian Serie A, Belgian Jupiler, the Spanish LaLiga and the U-17 AFCON in Algeria.

Here at Pulse Sports Nigeria, we have selected three of the must-watch matches for you today.

Let’s dig right into them!

It is the biggest game of the day in the AFCON U-17 currently ongoing in Algeria.

Two of the best teams in Group B, Nigeria and Morocco go head-to-head in a top-of-the-table clash.

Both teams kicked off their campaign with much-expected wins, Nigeria defeated Zambia 1-0 while Morocco was too strong for South Africa after a 2-0.

Golden Eaglets and their manager, Nduka Ugbade will face their sternest test yet in the quest to end Nigeria’s 16-year wait for a third AFCON U-17 crown.

That game kicks off at 5 pm Nigerian time at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium in Algeria.

It’s a big game in the Belgian Jupiler later tonight as Royale Union Golloise welcome Royal Antwerp to Stade Joseph Marien in Brussels.

It is indeed a Royal battle in the Jupiler playoffs with two Nigerian superstars going head-to-head.

The talented Victor Boniface will be the host when Yusuf Alhassan and his Antwerp side come calling.

It’s the first game between the two in the playoffs as the battle to determine who becomes Belgian champions gets underway.

Both 22-year-old stars have been key players for their respective teams are will look to impress when they take to the pitch tonight.

It’s the Derbi de la Communitat as Valencia welcome Villarreal to their Estadio de Mestalla home.

Nigeria Super Eagles star, Samuel Chukwueze, is the main focus here as his Villarreal side continue to push for a place in Europe.

The Yellow Submarines will go into this clash looking to close their gap between them and fourth Real Sociedad, who are eight points clear in the final Champions League spot.

However, Samu and his fellow Submarines will have to be wary of the wounded hosts looking to bounce back from defeat to Cadiz the last time.

Los Che are also deep-rooted in the rat race to avoid relegation and could prove a viable banana peel for Villarreal, who are on a run of two successive wins.

After his quiet outing the last time against Celta Vigo, Chukwueze will be looking to return to the form that has seen him 11 goals in 22 starts this season in LaLiga.
