Ahead of this week's African qualifying playoffs -- as Nigeria, Gabon, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo look to keep their World Cup hopes alive -- here's ESPN's bumper preview, with predictions.

Just two days before their important 2026 FIFA World Cup African playoff semi-final game against Gabon, the full Nigeria squad, including officials, decided to boycott training in Morocco because of unresolved money issues.

Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has been recalled to the Nigeria squad ahead of this week's CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup Play-off Tournament in Morocco after serving a two-month suspension for his part in an illegal betting scheme.
