This game is no doubt, the crucial encounter for both Nigeria and Uruguay in the group stage as it will determine who finishes second and qualifies for the knock-out stages.
Beaten by Spain in their opening match, Uruguay are set to take all three points in this match as that is the only chance of progressing in this tournament.
However, given their performance against Tahiti on match day one, do you think Super Eagles have the capability to beat Uruguay and qualify for the next stage? What is your prediction of this match?
