Nigeria vs Benin Live Streaming: Nigeria will face Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in their last Group C encounter of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Super Eagles are in a must-win situation if they want to stay alive in the World Cup dreams.

Nigeria vs Benin Live Streaming: Match Preview
The Super Eagles’ campaign has been up and down, with decisive dropped points in previous games leaving them in this delicate situation. Their 2-1 win over Lesotho in the last game, courtesy of the captain William Troost-Ekong and new debutant Akor Adams’s goals, gives them a bit of momentum, but their destiny is no longer in their control.
Benin, however, are on the threshold of history with 17 points to top Group C. They have been one of the surprise packages among the qualifiers under manager Gernot Rohr, having beaten Nigeria back in June 2024, and this adds ferocity to this ultimate match. Their organised defence and well-timed scoring make them a true opponent for the Super Eagles.

Nigeria vs Benin Live Streaming: Match Prediction
While anticipation is always subject to doubt, Nigeria should play boldly since they are in their do-or-die situation. Benin, at the top of the group, should defend stoutly and seek counter-attacking chances. Look for a nervy first half before the game possibly opens up in the second half as Nigeria attacks. Scoring opportunities might be in favor of the home team, but Benin’s stringent defense might baffle them.
