Group E at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup will see heavyweights Nigeria and Brazil face tricky sides North Korea and Hungary in New Plymouth and Christchurch.

If this group produces no surprise, Nigeria and Brazil should qualify from it quite easily. The question would be: who will join both in the knockout stages as one of the best four third-placed teams. However, football has never been played on paper.

Group will open on June 1st with a final-like clash between the Nigerians and the Brazilians. The outcome of this fixture could very well unsettle one of the two teams. The Selecão Sub-20 didn’t do particularly well at the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship.

They actually did just enough to secure the fourth and final spot to book tickets for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand, the 2015 Pan American Games and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Since 2011 when they triumphed both at continental and international level, the team has not done much to inspire their fans with confidence. Brazil are back at the FIFA U-20 WC after missing the previous edition in Turkey. Will they return in style and win their sixth title?

Meanwhile, the Flying Eagles of Nigeria have never failed to progress from the first round of the competition since 1983, a year which marked their debut. As CAF U-20 Football champions, they will try to make some noise in New Zealand by taking advantage of minnows North Korea and Hungary.
