The Nigerian team is under the guidance of interim coach Austine Eguavoen for the qualifiers and have remained unbeaten so far. However he is expected to return to his role as technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after the final round of games.

Speaking ahead of the game Moses Simon who is one of the leaders of the team said he would have loved the coach to stay for a longer period, because of his knowledge of the players which brings out the best in them.

“You will have the team with a clear goal,” he told BBC in an interview.

“The coach knows the ability [and] the character of the players. He knows how he can attack the game.

“But when today is this and tomorrow is different, it’s a little bit more complicated. We all want someone that can be there longer.”
