In Group C, the Super Eagles are now six points behind the Bafana Bafana. A victory would help them regain their prospects of making it to the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The 10-game series has seen seven games, with the Super Eagles winning just two, losing one, and drawing four.
They have ten points, third in the group, with three games remaining, putting them in danger of missing out on a second straight World Cup.
Nwabali is still certain they can win again after defeating Rwanda 1-0 before facing the group leaders.
“I think our team is strong enough to compete with any nation. It doesn’t seem like a huge deal to us. Since they are leading the group, we appreciate them for their success. Nwabali told NFF TV, “I think we will win, even though it’s going to be a tough game.”
Every game has a strategy. They may have been used against other people, but in Nigeria, the strategy is different. We will win that game, in my opinion.
With 16 points, South Africa leads the group. The Eagles are in third place with 10 points, followed by the Benin Republic with 11.
The winning team in the group will automatically qualify for the tournament, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, along with eight other African nations that win their respective groups.
