Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia has backed the country to stage a remarkable comeback to qualify for next year’s World Cup.
The Super Eagles are fourth in their qualifying group with seven points from six matches, while South Africa top the standings on 13 points with four rounds of matches to be played.
They will welcome second-placed Rwanda to Uyo on September 6, before they travel to leaders South Africa three days later.
“Everything is still possible, but it’s how to get it done,” Siasia said.
“Both the players and the coach have to now bring their ‘A’ game to these matches and it should be a game at a time, win one and get the confidence for the next one.
“We don’t talk about the other game, we focus on the first game.
“We have the players, but we have to be careful not to concede especially in Nigeria.”
