NIGERIA
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) reacted swiftly by the disappointing outing of the Super Eagles in Cameroon and the failure to make it to Qatar by appointing Portuguese manager, Jose Peseiro.
His reign hasn’t quite taken off the way Nigerians would have wanted, losing two friendly matches in quick succession to Mexico and Ecuador. Although in those games, he fielded an under strength teams in both fixtures with some established stars missing out to various issues.
However, most of the senior players who missed the tour in the US are now back in the fold and jostling for places.
We have a long list of sure straight wins for tomorrow at no cost to you.
The home side have what could be described as an unfinished business having failed to beat their fellow West Africans in their last two meetings.
SIERRA LEONE
The Lone Stars will be hyped for this fixture having successfully put in two decent performances against the hosts in their last two meetings. Last time they visited Nigeria, they came back from a four goal deficit to restore parity.
They didn’t also perform well at the AFCON getting dumped out in the first round but they will be proud of their fighting spirit.
In their last match, a friendly against Congo in March, John Keister’s earned a 2-1 victory. With that in mind, the visitors will be hopeful of another fine performance in Nigeria.
A win is highly unlikely but a win against Nigeria who will be without their fans will make three wins on the bounce.
