The Syli Stars’ chances of making it to the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship is slim, after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Niger Republic on Friday.
Luis Fernandez’s men will be counting on their comeback heroics in the opening two games against group C leaders, Super Eagles in Gisenyi to secure a quarter final berth.
Nigerians are praying for your victory and it is my wish that you continue with your display of high performance as you go into your match.
Nigeria top the group with four points while the Guineans have garnered only two points from previous two matches against Tunisia and Niger and will need a win over Nigeria in this encounter. They pose a big threat because of the skill and guile of their strikers.
But there were doubts over the match fitness of leading goal scorer, Chisom Elvis Chikatara and midfielder Mohammed Usman.
For Coach Sunday Oliseh and his lads, staying positive is key. Nigeria is not a small team but we are ready for the game tomorrow.
