After their hard-earned victory over the host, Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire, at the ongoing AFCON, Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, says they are expecting a tough game from the Djurtus of Guinea Bissau in their last group game on Monday.

The Super Eagles relaunched themselves in the African Cup of Nations with the narrow win, with the Napoli forward handing Nigeria the opportunity to earn the full point after he was hacked down in the box.

According to BSNSports.com.ng, Osimhen has admitted how strong the Guineans were, and recognised how they approached matches with determination.

“We aim for a strong performance against Guinea-Bissau. They will undoubtedly approach the game with determination, and we won’t underestimate any team, considering what they’ve done to qualify.

“We met them in the qualifiers and know how strong they are. They defeated us at home, while we also beat them away.

“So, we are expecting a tough game against them. We will do our best to win,” Osimhen stated.

Meanwhile, a former Nigeria defender, Amaechi Otti, has said that the Super Eagles rose to glory against the Elephants on the crest of luck, adding that it is not impossible for the team to reach the tournament’s podium on the wings of luck.
