Nigeria coach Salisu Yusuf says his team will try to overcome a two-goal deficit in Abuja in order to qualify for the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) ahead of Ghana.
The Black Galaxies beat Nigeria 2-0 in the first leg of the tie last week in Cape Coast and will face the Super Eagles B team again on Saturday in Abuja.
The aggregate winner of the tie will qualify for the CHAN in Algeria next year.
Black Stars stopped Nigeria from qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup by beating the Super Eagles to the ticket through the away goals rule.
So, Nigeria must score more than two goals and stop the Ghanaians from getting any to avoid another away goal headache.
That is exactly what Coach Yusuf plans to avoid.
Buoyed by the presence of Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Jose Peseiro, Yusuf said his boys are ready to move mountain to qualify for Algeria 2023.
“We have an idea where they have strength as a team and we will seek how we can restrict their strength and explore their weaknesses.
“Football is a game of 90 minutes and we must look to overturn the two goals we conceded.
“The team needs to work even harder than we did in the short time we had to prepare for this game. We have to turn things around in Abuja,” Yusuf said.
