Super Eagles are condemned to beat Swaziland today in Port Harcourt to advance to the league stage of the qualifying tournament for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Swaziland held star-studded Nigeria to a scoreless draw in the first-ever meeting between the two teams on Friday in Lobambo.
Today’s kick-off is 4pm Nigerian time at the Adokie Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The Southern Africans were resolute in defence and limited their more famous opponents to just a handful of chances for their enthusiastic fans to later celebrate a confidence-boosting draw.
The Eagles midfield again lacked creativity and so forcing the strikers like Odion Ighalo and Obafemi Martins to fall back deep to be part of the game.
Swaziland coach Harries Bulunga said his team are still capable of upsetting the three-time African champions in front of their own fans.
“We still believe. Our defence was superb (in the first leg), but we were not that sharp upfront,”
