Gernot Rohr has revealed that he is expecting a tough match against Algeria on Saturday in the 2018 World Cup qualifier slated for Uyo.
Nigeria
won their opening fixture 2-1 away against Zambia while Algeria dropped
points at home as they drew 1-1 to the indomitable Lions of Cameroon to
hand the three-time African Champions an early advantage in Group B.
However, German tactician who watched the Federations Cup final
between IfeanyiUbah and Nasarawa United is wary of the Desert Foxes but
confident about the Eagles chances of getting a win.
“I believe
all the games in this group will be difficult to win because all the
four teams are very strong. Algeria, which is the number one team in
Africa must be disappointed for dropping points at home against
Cameroon,” Rohr told Cafonline.com
“They will come to Uyo very
well prepared against us. So mathematically, it was a good operation for
us that we won in Ndola; and we are the only teams that have three
points after the first round of matches.”
Nigeria currently sit on
top of Group B with three points while Cameroon and Algeria have a
point each and Zambia are without any points so far as they are rooted
bottom of the log.
