“Win (for Nigeria) Big chances... We are playing at home, in front our crowd and at own back yard.

“Cape Verde have no chance. It's easier said than done; having lost here the last time our boys responded positively against CAR in Cameroon. Our boys know that any slip won't be good for us.”

Meanwhile, captain Ahmed Musa also assured that the Super Eagles are matured, professional and ambitious enough to deal with any pressure when taking on the Blue Sharks.

Musa told thenff.com just before the Super Eagles had their last training session at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Monday evening.

“There will always be all kinds of pressure when you are out there on the football field, as a professional sportsman or woman.

“You just must have strong fibre to cope with the pressure from everywhere, focus on getting the result and get the job done. Pressure is never an excuse not to put out your best; sometimes, it helps you to get beyond your level best.”
