Watch Madagascar Vs. Nigeria Live Stream: 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations Group B Battle For Supremacy, Start Time


The Nigeria Super Eagles eliminated a major distraction, heading into their final group stage match in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, when they finally received their wages from their country’s football federation, payments that the players said were more than three weeks late, according to Goal.com. They also received the bonuses they were owed from their first two Group B matches, both 1-0 wins over Burundi and Guinea. But even with their bank accounts looking healthier, Nigeria’s German coach, Gernot Rohr, has warned his players against overlooking Madagascar, who could take over the top spot in the group heading into the knockout stage in the match that will live stream from Egypt.

“Madagascar is a strong team and they have a great manager,” Rohr said on Saturday, according to BeIn Sports. “They will be greatly prepared but we have enough experience to overcome this match. It’s important to finish this group in first place.”

Rohr said that he is prepared to make changes to the side that has topped the group with two straight wins, with former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel likely to find his way back into the starting 11 after remaining on the sidelines in the win over Guinea, according to Sport Star.

Madagascar will come in riding a high level of confidence, scoring their first-ever AFCON win just three days ago, defeating Burundi 1-0 on a 76th-minute goal by Sporting Charleroi midfielder Marco Ilaimaharitra, per Soccerway data.
