Zimbabwe’s head coach, Michael Nees, is confident that his team can overcome the Super Eagles of Nigeria when the two sides meet for a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match later this month.
Nigeria will host the Warriors in a Matchday Six encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday, 25th March.
The Super Eagles currently sit fifth in Group C with three points from four matches, while Zimbabwe finds itself at the bottom of the group with two points. Both teams will be eager for a victory to bolster their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.
Nees believes his team has the potential to secure a notable win against the Super Eagles. “Like us, Nigeria have their backs against the wall; they are like wounded lions wanting to turn the page following a poor start to the qualifiers.
“It will be an exciting game, and Nigeria is beatable in Uyo,” Nees asserted.
