Super Eagles Are Good Enough To Dismantle Indomitable Lions In Uyo – Sokari

By Augustine Akhilomen

CS Sfaxien midfielder, Kingsley Sokari is confident the Super Eagles will dismantle the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in a 2018 World Cup qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Friday.

The two football power house in Africa will be desperate for points in a bid to take step further in their quest to picking the automatic slot for the mundial slated for Russia.

Nigeria are top of Group B with six points while their Cameroonian counterpart are on two points after playing two matches.

Speaking with Sokari from his base in Tunis on Wednesday, he told Kickintel that though he expect a difficult encounter against Cameroon but he insisted that the team would win on Friday.

“Fridays game against Cameroon won’t be an easy one for the Super Eagles considering the fact that the two teams are two of Africa’s football power house,” Sokari told Kickintel.com.

“My take on this game is that Nigeria will pick the three points knowing fully that we are playing at home and the players knows very well that a win will move them a step to qualifying for tbr World Cup  before facing them in Yaounde on Tuesday.

“I don’t think what happen to the team against South Africa will repeat itself again because this is a different ball game and the calibre of players in the Super Eagles will definitely crush Cameroon.
