Nigeria are massive favourites to beat the Djurtus when they come to Abuja for the first leg.

Coach Peseiro will have all his star players available for the fixture. Forwards Victor Osimhen, Terem Moffi, Samuel Chukwueze, and Ademola Lookman have been in great form and they would be looking to wave their magic wand.

Nonetheless, Nigeria’s Portuguese tactician insists that his team will not be complacent. He has stated that they will be at their best to beat Guinea-Bissa.

 

“I want a good atmosphere for our players, the fans should come and support us,” Peseiro said at the pre-match presser.

“Guinea is a team with good quality. They would come here to defend and try to hit us on the counter.

“We want to put in our force, our motivation, and our commitment because it is not an easy match.

“There is no easy match with me. We will play with maximum force and organization. We can’t beat Guinea if we don’t out our maximum on the field.”

 

A victory for Peseiro’s lads will ensure that they need just three points from their remaining three games to seal qualification.
