Reigning AFCON champions Nigeria will be desperate to earn a win against Sudan on the road on Saturday, October 11th. Find out where to watch the game online & on TV here.

As things stand, only one point separates the two sides that will come face to face in today's clash. Yet, it is not something many would have predicted as the duo are reigning AFCON champions Nigeria and continental minnows Sudan, with the Super Eagles in a disconcerting third place behind Congo and South Africa having just earned a sole point from their first two fixtures.

Simply put, this is a win or go home match for Stephen Keshi's men. Should the unthinkable happen and Sudan pull off an upset, it will certainly be game over for not just the coach, but quite a few players will be finding themselves under microscope of some harsh inquisition.

Nonetheless, one positive aspect will be the return of Lille star and captain Vincent Enyeama, widely regarded as among the top goalkeepers on the continent and in Europe's major leagues as well.

More encouraging for the visitors will be Sudan's poor record, with the hosts last tasting victory about a year ago by defeating Zambia 2-1. However, the Falcons of Jediane have won an AFCON trophy--albeit back in 1970 and shocked the entire continent by making it all the way to the quarter-finals back in 2012.

Yet with their key attackers, including Mudathir El Tahir failing to fire on all cylinders, this and the second leg of this clash could represent an opportunity for Nigeria to get back on track, and more significant, to give Keshi a lifeline in hanging onto his job.
