The match which is the second leg of the second round of the 2024 Paris Olympic qualifier, will be played at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja after the first leg between the two national teams ended in a 1-1 draw at the Abebe Bikila Stadium, Addis Ababa last Wednesday.
The Super Falcons will be hoping to win the match so as to face the winner of the tie between Cameroon and Uganda, also playing same day, for the the third and final round of the African qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games.
The Nigerian team failed to qualify for the last three Olympics, London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020, but are determined and desperate to return for Paris 2024.
The Super Falcons are one of the most successful women's national teams in Africa, having won the Africa Women's Cup of Nations a record eleven times. They are also the only African team to have reached the quarterfinals of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
They are the favorites to win the match, but they will need to be wary of the Lucy, who are a dangerous team on their day having defeated Chad 10-0 on aggregate in the first round.
My Prediction: Super Falcons 3-0 Ethiopia (aggregate)
