The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the three points at stake in the match are important to the Super Eagles, having lost their opener to South Africa.

Meanwhile, Seyi Akinwumi, 1st Vice-President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), said that qualification for the 2019 Nations Cup was paramount to the federation.

“Having not qualified in the previous two editions, all the attention of the federation is toward our qualifying for 2019 edition in Cameroon.

“We have put all the distraction of the crisis in the federation behind us, which was part of the reasons we failed to qualify for the last editions.

“Our focus now is the qualification for the tournament and both the technical crew and the players are ready,” Akinwumi said.
