2023 AFCON Qualifiers: Jose Peseiro reveals Super Eagles’ plans for Guinea-Bissau

The Super Eagles are overwhelming favorites to claim the tie, but Peseiro is going to take the game very seriously 

Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has revealed that his players would put in their maximum level when they face Guinea-Bissau in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Friday. Follow AFCON Qualifiers Live scores on Flashscore

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.
