We cannot allow a slow start to the game to happen,\u201d Nees said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must be there from the beginning in our game. Our concentration must be there because the goals [against Benin on Thursday], when you look at it, were a little gifted from us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with DAILY POST ahead of the Tuesday encounter, former TTC Football Academy coach, Emmanuel Brown gave his opinion on the clash between Nigeria and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>Brown backed Chelle\u2019s side to make use of the home advantage of playing in one of their favourites pitch in Nigeria \u2013 the Godswill Akpabio Stadium \u2013 and score more goals against the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a must win game for Nigeria to take their tally to 9 points in Group C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully South Africa will not get a good result against Benin and Nigeria will be just one short of South Africa,\u201d Brown told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Super Eagles are coming off from a 2 \u2013 0 win against Rwanda, and it seems the new coach, Chelle, is playing a more attacking formation, which is good because Nigeria cannot afford to lose any game in the remaining matches in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria has one of the best attackers in Africa at the moment and after a bad start to the World Cup qualifiers, Nigeria is now rejuvenated to go all the way and secure the ticket to the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe Zimbabwe is the weakest team in the group because they have not won any game so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should be a huge advantage for the Super Eagles and they are playing at home in one of their favourites pitches, which is the Godswill Akpabio stadium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, Nigeria can take that advantage and score more goals against the Warriors of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see Chelle\u2019s men maintaining another clean sheet and taking all three points. 3-0 in favour of the Eagles,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Femi Fabunmi, the Editor of EkoHotBlog, told DAILY POST that Zimbabwe are the \u2018whooping boys\u2019 in Group C.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, tipped Chelle\u2019s men to grab all three points against the visitors in Uyo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Super Eagles of Nigeria have rekindled our hopes of qualifying for the world Cup with that 2-0 away victory to Rwanda,\u201d Fabunmi told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Zimbabwe are the whooping boys of the group, then we should ordinarily defeat them in Uyo and further bolster our hope in making it to America 2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll eyes on Benin vs South Africa, a draw in that match will also be in our favour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all, the Super Eagles still stand a chance of grabbing a ticket to the next World Cup either by finishing top of group C or the last option of the second best team overall but that would mean going through the play off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy prediction is Nigeria 4, Zimbabwe 0.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking about the game, Audu Ojo, the head coach of Dawaki Rangers, backed the three-time African champions to beat Zimbabwe 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe match is going to be tough. Football in Africa is changing rapidly and there are no more small teams in football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn a good day a small team can surprise a big team. It\u2019s difficult to predict the outcome of the match between Nigeria and Zimbabwe, but I just have the feelings that Nigeria will carry the day. 2-0 for the Super Eagles,\u201d he predicted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
