Nigeria – Canada Women Preview: News, Form, and Possible Lineups
Check out the latest updates and news on both teams here, including the most likely Nigeria vs Canada Women lineups:
Nigeria Women
Although they have participated at every World Cup for women since the first one in 1991, Nigerian national team has yet to go further than the quarter-finals, which they achieved in 1999. This time around, Nigeria can hope to get out of the group stages, but even that would be a tall task for them and anything more would be a great success.
Nigeria Women Predicted Lineup:
Nnadozie – Imuran, Ebi, Demehin, Alozie – Ayinde – Ajibade, Echegini, Payne, Okoronkwo – Oshoala
Canada Women
With the exception of the first World Cup for Women in history, Canada qualified for all others so far and the team even reached semi-finals once, in 2003. Next to that, their biggest success in recent years were quarter-finals in 2015, when they hosted the tournament. The expectations from Canada are to at least get out of their group at this tournament.
Canada Women Predicted Lineup:
Sheridan – Lawrence, Rose, Gilles, Champan – Fleming, Schmidt, Grosso – Huitema, Sinclair, Leon

Player to Watch: Christine Sinclair
We already said that we can see Canada winning and Sinclair scoring a goal in this match, so Christine is also our player to watch in this duel against Nigeria.
Yes, Sinclair is 40-years-old, but her experience is very valuable for this Canadian team and Nigeria will have to keep a close eye on the forward or they will regret it.
