AFCON: We pray Super Eagles fumble, says Guinea-Bissau coach
Ahead of their Wednesday’s clash at the ongoing 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, Guinea Bissau Coach, Basiro Candé, hopes Nigeria’s Super Eagles make errors that will lead to his team’s victory.
“We will play our game and hope that Nigeria makes a mistake, some errors and may be luck will smile on us,” Candé who described the Super Eagles as a strong team, said.
Candé at a press conference on Tuesday, however, said his team will hope to exploit the weaknesses in the compact Nigerian side.
“We know that no matter how strong a team is, there is always a weak side and we hope to capitalise on that as we play Nigeria,” he said.
The coach said his physical side will hope to go all out from the blast of the whistle, with qualification still on their mind.
The Nigerian team will on Wednesday file out against the wild dogs of Guinea-Bissau in one of the last group D at the Stade Roumdé Adjia, Garoua, Cameroon on Wednesday by 8:00 p.m.
Table-topping Eagles have six points from two games, having beaten Egypt and Sudan, while struggling Guinea-Bissau have just one point from their draw with Sudan and 0-1 loss to Egypt.
