Canada and Nigeria met twice in a friendly last year with the North Americans claiming one win and the other game ending in a draw.<\/p>\n

Priestman\u2019s side are overwhelming favourites to win the game but the English woman warned the Super Falcons unpredictability makes them a tough opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think we just need a calmness and a belief in what we do well. We\u2019ll be going to try and top the group.\u201d<\/p>\n
