The Super Falcons will lock horns against the indomitable lionesses of Cameroon in a quarterfinal game of the African Women Cup Of Nations tomorrow Thursday, July 14th 2022 at the Stade Mohammed Stadium.

Match preview


Nigeria's Super Falcons will be looking to get a win to progress in their quest of winning the title again to take their total win to a record tenth time.

 

A win over the indomitable lionesses would help put Nigeria in the semifinal round and one step closer to victory. However, the same can be said for Cameroon.

 

While the Super Falcons are heavy favourites due to their status as defending champions, Cameroon is no easy task and the women would have to be on top of their game.

 

What to expect


After convincing victories against Botswana and Burundi, the Super Falcons should be high in confidence. A game on the front foot with great attacking drive can be expected from Randy Waldrum's women.

 

However, nothing in football is set in stone and the game could turn out to be a slippery slope. To avoid any upsets, the Super Falcons would have to be on top of their game and stay there.

 

The desire to win must also be balanced as any lapses at the back could be capitalized upon by Cameroon.

 

Super Falcons coach Randy Waldrum has shown that he is versatile and can set up an attacking team as witnessed against Botswana and Burundi.

 

His statement regarding his desire for Nigeria to be recognised as the team to beat in all competitions is looking like a real objective.

 

However, his tactics need to be spot on in this game as the knockout stages do not offer any team a lifeline.

 

Gabriel Zabo's Indomitable Lionesses utilizes a 4-3-3 as was displayed against Tunisia with emphasis laid on penetration through the flanks and a lot of long-range shots when the chances present themselves.

 

Fans can expect a lively attacking game of football with both teams eager to open the goalscoring.

 

Kickoff Time/Venue


The African Women Cup Of Nations quarterfinal match between the Super Falcons of Nigeria and Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon will kick off at exactly 1800 hours Nigerian time at the Stade Mohammed Stadium.
