Nigeria faces Sierra Leone on Friday evening, continuing its race to qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Eagles made a great start to the competition – beating Benin Republic and Lesotho – to sit at the top of Group L with 6 points.. . The victory over John Kista’s men will push them closer to the tournament that is supposed to be held in Cameroon.
For the Lyon stars sitting at the base of the record, they must upset the Super Eagle to put them in competition for their third appearance in the biennial African Football Championship. .
Eleven potential for Sierra Leone: Camara; Bangura, Cesai, Kakai, Wright; Coroma Camara Strasser; Coy, Camara, Ki Camara
Super Eagles drew 1-1 with Tunisia in the last friendly match played in Austria after losing four days ago to African champion Algeria.. . Even at this time, Super Eagles appear poised to take on the Sierra Leoneans in Benin to get all three points to help their aspirations qualify..
“We are in no way underestimating the importance of the Sierra Leone national team in that we are playing on two legs during these four days, but we have our focus and our goal in the matches,” Roer told the media at the National Football Association (NFF).. “We want to win both games so that we can get the ticket and be able to relax a little bit in the final matches. “You know next year we also have World Cup Qualifiers to focus on. Better to get the Africa Cup of Nations job behind us now. “There is no doubt that the Lion Stars are desperate to beat the Nigerians, however, they are extremely vulnerable to picking a positive result bearing in mind that they have not yet won any away matches since 1999. They were hoping to take advantage of the fact that this match would be played without fans due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Their last match against Super Eagles ended in a 2–1 defeat at Teslim Balogun Stadium on February 2, 2011.
