Mfon Udoh predicts mouth-watering Super Eagles win against Zimbabwe in Uyo
Nigerian football star Mfon Udoh has praised the Super Eagles for their impressive 2-0 win over Rwanda in Kigali and is confident they will secure another victory when they face Zimbabwe in Uyo.
The Super Eagles earned their first win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series on Friday, beating second-placed Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium. Two goals from Victor Osimhen in the 10th minute and first-half stoppage time secured all three points for Nigeria, moving them to six points from five matches.
The team is now back in Uyo as they prepare for their next match against Zimbabwe. The game will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, by 5 p.m.
Mfon Udoh, who still holds the record for the highest number of goals scored in a single season of the Nigerian Premier Football League, shared his thoughts in an exclusive chat with SportsRation. Udoh, who is also from Akwa Ibom State, expressed excitement over the team’s performance and predicted another exciting win for Nigeria.
“I was privileged to watch the highlights of our last game in Rwanda,” Mfon Udoh said. “It was a fantastic game and the Super Eagles did really good. I commend their effort.
“Our next game is even going to be better and the scoreline also should be mouth-watering. So my prediction is 3-1 in favour of the Eagles.”
Mfon Udoh was the top scorer in the 2016 CAF Champions League with nine goals and remains one of Nigeria’s most prolific strikers in history.
Between 2012 and 2014, he scored a total of 41 goals in league and cup competitions, and he made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2014.
The Super Eagles will be hoping to build on their win in Rwanda as they continue their push for a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
