Their first-ever encounter against the Amavubi , a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium, 25 years ago ended in a 0-0 draw.

In 2011, both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo.

In September last year, another 0-0 draw was the outcome of a 2025 AFCON qualifying tie at the Amahoro Stadium.

The Super Eagles are in a must win situation this time around following their poor start in the qualifiers.

Eric Chelle’s side are winless in Group C after four matches.

They occupy fifth position in with three points.
