**U17 World Cup: Guinea Face Brazil While Nigeria Seek to Consolidate Group Lead**
Guinea’s U17 team, the Syli Cadet, will take on Brazil in their final Group B match of the U17 World Cup tonight, seeking a vital win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
The West African side drew against England in their opening match but suffered a defeat to South Korea in their second outing, leaving them at the bottom of the group with just one point. Facing Brazil, who currently have three points, Guinea will need a strong performance to turn their campaign around. A loss could see them exit the competition at the group stage.
Meanwhile, Nigeria, who have topped Group A with six points from their first two matches, will face second-placed Croatia. With qualification already secured, the Nigerians can use the fixture to assess their squad and prepare for the knockout rounds, while consolidating their position at the top of the group.
The final group-stage matches promise intense competition, with African teams aiming to make a mark on the global stage.
