Nigeria football legend Segun Odegbami has predicted that the national team’s final group fixture at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will be “a difficult game”.
The Super Eagles play Guinea-Bissau on Monday night, looking to finish top of Group A.
The three-time African champions currently have four points, following a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea and a 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast.
Odegbami was in the team’s camp on Sunday to show his support and also motivate the boys.
“I’m here to encourage you and to wish you well because the game against Guinea-Bissau is going to be a tough match.
“It’s going to be a difficult match because that’s how it is in our tradition. When we win a match and we feel the next one will be easy, that’s when it will be difficult.
“So I don’t expect an easy match but calmly do the things you know how to do best under any circumstances you will win and we will be with you here till the end,” the 1980 AFCON winner told the players.
