Nigeria moved to the brink of reaching next year’s World Cup finals with a 1-1 draw away to Cameroon on Monday which ended the qualifying hopes of the African champions.
Nigeria top Group B with 10 points from four games, six ahead of second-placed Zambia, who visit Algeria on Wednesday.
With only the top team going to Russia, Cameroon have three points from four games and cannot overhaul Nigeria, who had Belgian-based forward Moses Simon to thank for their goal.
Algeria have only the slimmest chance of overhauling Nigeria, having picked up one point from three games.
