Nigeria W - Canada W: Form Analysis
Nigeria are at the World Cup courtesy of their top four finish at the African Cup of Nations for women. While they are giants in Africa, here it is a different ball game. They are the lowest ranked in Group B, placed 40th and will face a number of top nations. With a game against the hosts also coming up, a good start is a prerequisite for the West Africans. In their last. Three matches, Nigeria posted straight wins and will be confident coming here. Randy Waldrum's ladies beat New Zealand 3-0 in the final warmup game ahead of this. It was their second clean sheet in three matches and a similar result will really boost them mentally. Their three wins ahead of this game have however been against not so high ranked nations. They beat Costa Rica (36th), Haiti (53rd) and New Zealand (26th).
Canada will come into this game having only lost to Nigeria once in five meetings. They are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Nigeria. In the last five matches ahead of this, Canada have posted four losses and just one win. However, the opponents they have faced are much stronger, all ranked in the top 11. Heading into this game, they lost 2-1 to France in their only friendly match before this tournament. That was the fourth time in five matches that they conceded two or more goals. in the 2011 World Cup, they met Nigeria, and lost 1-0. That was the second World Cup meeting between them, the earlier, in 1995 having ended 3-3. Two wins in their last four World Cup matches place Canada as favorites here.
