Coach Emiliano Té is counting on Adramane Cassamá to try to secure Guinea-Bissau’s first home win in qualifying. The match against Nigeria is presented as decisive for the team, according to the Bissau-Guinean daily O Democrata GB.

Guinea-Bissau face Nigeria on Tuesday in the second round of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), aiming to secure their first home win in the campaign. Guinea-Bissau coach Emiliano Té replaced Luso-São Toméan Luís Boa Morte at the helm of the team in 2025, with the task of qualifying it for the 2027 AFCON finals.

Emiliano Té began the qualifying campaign with a 2-0 away win against Tanzania the previous week. A victory against Nigeria would give him a second consecutive win in the competition.
