The tie promises to be a tough one, as asides from the World Cup ticket which is at stake, the rivalry between both countries borders across all aspects of life.

Nonetheless, Osimhen believes that with their preparation and the arsenal that Nigeria possesses, they can ensure a victory in Kumasi.

“We are ready for the encounter, we are ready to give our all,” Osimhen told Victor Modo.

“The game won’t be easy, of course, no team is easy in Africa, we have been surprised by Central Africa Republic in the past. But we are ready for this game, and we want to go there and get the win if possible.

“But we know for sure that on our home, we will try to do everything possible to get the win and qualify for Qatar.”

YThe first leg is set for the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, where the Ghanaians have not lost in a long time.
