Twente v Schalke

Finland 2nd league
Two teams at the bottom of the table, with EPS being in last place. The team concedes a lot of goals, having let in 7 goals in the last 3 games. Mikkeli is also not a miracle team, but they seem more solid, and they even lost 3-1 in the first away game in Mikkeli, so this is a good chance for revenge, as the visitors have been playing tragically lately. This should result in a lot of goals in the first half today.

Africa, Women's AFCON. Nigeria is the favorite here, not only in the matches, but overall one of the strongest candidates for the title. It's clear that they are expected to dominate in these matches. The team has a strong attack and plays attacking football. The leaders of the team, Oshoala and Ajibade, looked to be in good form during friendly matches. Tunisia is somewhat of an enigma, as they have heavily renewed their team after the tournament was moved from 2024 to 2025. They have a new coach and brought in fresh blood. Their offense may struggle, as they have some experienced veterans, but they are getting older (around 32-33 years old) and may have trouble keeping up with the fast and strong Nigerian attackers for the full 90+ minutes. The defense may also be a problem, as some of the experienced veterans will still play, but they lack experience in high-level competitions. There seems to be a lack of overall understanding and quality within the team. The problems in defense were evident during preparations and I doubt if the coach was able to fix everything, as the resources are limited. In my opinion, Tunisia will suffer in defense against a team like Nigeria, despite having the ability to score. As I mentioned before, there is still quality in the team, but Nigeria, as favorites, may sometimes make mistakes in defense but usually make up for it with their strong offense. I hope for a similar outcome in this match.
