Former goalkeeper of Nigeria, Emmanuel Okala believes the Super Eagles team is strong enough to beat Ghana home and away in the World Cup play-off later this month.
The West African rivals square up later this month for one of Africa’s tickets to the World Cup in Qatar this year.
“To be sincere, the Super Eagles I watched during the last AFCON tournament in Cameroun should be able to beat Ghana home and away,” Okala told The Guardian Nigeria.
“I am not trying to underrate the strength of Ghana in football, but the old rivalry should favour Nigeria now. Our boys showed that determination in Cameroun that the Eagles have what it takes to pick the World Cup ticket. All we need do now is to believe in coach Augustine Eguavoen and the team. I am supporting them in whatever capacity I can offer,” he added.
