Women’s World Cup: Time and where to watch Australia vs Nigeria

By Monsurah Olatunji

Nigeria will face co-hosts Australia in their second Group B match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Super Falcons held Canada, to a barren draw in their opening match, while leaders Australia got off to a wonderful start by beating Ireland 1-0 in a hard-fought encounter, including nine wins in their previous 10 international matches across all competitions.
On the other hand, Nigeria won two of their past three games in all competitions, after they recorded a 2-1 win over Haiti and defeated New Zealand 3-0 in friendlies before a 0-0 with Canada.
On head-to-head meetings, Australia have a stronger history against Nigeria as the Matildas defeated the Super Falcons, 2-0 on June 12 during the 2015  FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Nigeria have gone two games without giving up a goal, while Australia has gone three games without doing so, although the Maltidas has the home advantage as the co-hosts the game will not be an easy task as the Super Falcons are ready for a good fight.
The second group game for the Super Falcons will take place against Australia on Thursday, July 27.
The game will kick off at 11:30 AM, close to the afternoon Nigerian time.  The encounter will be available on Supersport, Afrosport, and Blend TV.
