Super Eagles manager 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.
