Guinea-Bissau vs Nigeria: Baciro Cande predicts 2021 AFCON clash

Head coach of Guinea-Bissau, Baciro Cande, has predicted a ‘tough’ match when his team clashes with Nigeria at the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

Cande said Guinea-Bissau is well prepared and will play Nigeria to win.

Guinea-Bissau will tackle the Super Eagles in their final Group D 2021 AFCON tie on Wednesday night in Garoua.

Cande’s men head to the game after losing 1-0 against Egypt in their last game, while Nigeria defeated Sudan 3-1.

The match will be difficult, but it is important to get three points if we are to continue competing. We know Nigeria are a strong team, but we are well prepared, and we will play to win.

“We have to believe in our ability and fight for what we believe in because this is football,” Cande was quoted by CAF Online as saying at his pre-match press conference.

Guinea-Bissau only has one point from two games, Nigeria has already qualified for the next round as group winners.

They will be looking to upset Nigeria in a bid to clinch one of the four spots for the best third-place countries in the AFCON Round of 16.
