Is Nigeria vs Gabon on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup play-off | OneFootball

Nigeria will hope to keep their World Cup dream alive as they face Gabon in a decisive play-off clash.

Having struggled throughout their campaign in Group C, the Super Eagles produced a late flurry in their final games before thrashing Benin to leapfrog the fellow qualification hopefuls into the top two.

They now take on a Gabon side who enjoyed a less stressful to second spot in their group, finishing 12 points ahead of third-placed Gambia, though one that will need to shake off disappointment after missing out on Group F’s top spot to Ivory Coast by one point.

The winner of this tie goes on to face either of Congo or Cameroon, both whom are slugging it out on the other side of the play-off bracket.

When is Nigeria vs Gabon?

Nigeria’s play-off against Gabon kicks off at 4pm GMT on Thursday 13 November at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.

How can I watch it?
