In 14 encounters between the Super Eagles and the Falcons of Jediane since 1963, the Nigerian team has lost just twice – in 1963 and 2014. With the benefit of Matchday 1 performances, if the Super Eagles play just like they did against Mohamed Salah’s Egypt, they will have another win on Saturday against the Falcons. I will add that this postulation is made not only based on the opening matches but the pedigree, experience, and how valuable the squads are.
Coach Augustine Eguavoen revealed after the brilliant showing against Egypt that the coaching crew had a meeting with the players where they jointly agreed on the best formation for the team. It showed the flexibility of the Super Eagles and no changes is expected to that starting 11, apart from keeping Samuel Chukwueze. The Villarreal forward had a below-average performance.
The Sudanese team played cohesive football against Guinea Bissau where they earned a point but over their last three matches, they have scored just two goals; with no goals in their last two matches. If the Eagles play with the same tempo they achieved against Egypt, they should be able to get another win and punch their ticket to the second round with a game to spare.Three mistakes the Eagles must avoidThe Eagles were brilliant against the Salah-led Egypt, but that is the past.
Nigeria go for gold. We are a team to beat in this competition
