Nigeria, three-time African champions, are on the cusp of securing a ticket to next year’s AFCON tournament billed for Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Eagles are set for their penultimate game in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series as they battle the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Monrovia on Sunday.
Coach Jose Peseiro and his team have been busy perfecting their strategies in Lagos in the last few days and now they are ready to face the Leone Stars who are gradually becoming a hard nut to crack for the Eagles. In this campaign, the Eagles came from behind to defeat the Leone Stars 2-1 at the MKO Abiola Stadium in June 2022, on the opening day of the series.Coach Peseiro has admitted neither he nor the players are looking forward to an easy tie at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium on Sunday especially since the Leone Stars badly need the result to stay in the qualification race.
“We know this is a match that we need to win, and therefore we have to be positive in our approach against a difficult Nigerian side – and we will definitely be,” Keister told Football Sierra Leone.
