Augustine Eguavoen led Super Eagles of Nigeria will be out to redeem their battered image when they host Cheetahs of Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state later today.
The Super Eagles, who suffered a shocking loss to the Cheetahs when both teams clashed recently in a qualifying match for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will have a chance to make amends when they trade tackles with them today.
The match which will be a qualifier for the 2025 African Cup of Nations will be a fierce battle between the Nigerians star-studded team and a team led by their former manager, Gernot Rohr who has promised to use his long term management and understanding of the team to hurt them again.
Nigeria will be having the services of the likes of Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Samuel Chukwueze, Troost Ekong, Nwabali and others today when they host Benin Republic and are expected to fire on all cylinders right from the beginning of the match.
The Super Eagles who are led by an interim boss after the resignation of Finidi George will be hoping to win back the love and support of Nigerians with an inspirational performance against their West African neighbour.
The match will start by 5 PM Nigerian time on today.
