AFCON 2019 Draw: Super Eagles Most Favoured, Face Guinea, Burundi and Madagascar in Group B

The Super Eagles of Nigeria appeared to be most favoured in Friday's African Cup of Nations (AFCON) draw held behind the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt.

Gernot Rohr's men are to face Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi in Group B.

All the 24 countries that will be participating in this year's Nations Cup have known their opponents. The competition will be hosted in Egypt later this year. Egypt, the host country will be facing  Uganda, DR Congo and Zimbabwe in Group A.

The Super Eagles will begin their campaign against the East African nation in June 22 in Alexandria, before taking on Paul Put's men and the Barea on June 26 and 30 respectively.

Expectation is very high this year as Nigeria won the 2013 editions but missed out in the last two editions having failed to qualify.
