Golden Eaglets coach Nduka Ugbade has admitted that Morocco with their great defensive organisation will be a tough nut to crack, but his team still hope to win tomorrow so as to top the U17 AFCON group.
Both teams won their opening group game with Morocco heading this section having scored twice against South Africa after Nigeria could only manage the odd-goal win over Zambia.
“I expect a tough game against Morocco because the team who win tomorrow will qualify for the next stage of the competition,” predicted Ugbade.
“I watched their match against South Africa for 20 minutes, I was impressed.
“They are very strong, they defend very, very well and they’re very compact. They don’t attack much.
“The first option is to win, the second is win and the third is to win. The fourth (a loss) might be something that is strange to us.
“We have fear as well but we’re prepared for this.”
The overall winners of Group B will stay put in Constantine till the semifinal.
“We want to stay in this city, we have all the support in Constantine, we’re very comfortable here,” Ugbade said while explaining his team’s motivation to win the group.
Kick-off time is 5pm.
