It will be more disappointing to lose at home than to have lost in the away game, even though losing is not an option in any of these games.

Absolutely, losing is definitely not an option, both home and away, if we want to qualify. I like what i saw against Rwanda, we were not at our exceptional best, but we musn't forget that we have a new manager who was just coaching in his first competitive game for the country, so i believe the team will get better with more games they play together.

Zimbabwe is the next challenge and there is nothing more to say other than anything short of a win will prolly mean we won't be in the next world cup, so that is enough to tell us how important the three points are

Alot is at stake for the Zimbabwean - their government has put a bounty pool on the game against Nigeria; I'm hearing $10k per player if they manages to beat Nigeria in Akwa Ibom this week. That's enough motivation for them.

We haven't won against Zimbabwe since 2019 hope we can change that this week and maybe move to the 2nd place if Benin Republic loses to South Africa.

Zimbabwe is indeed one of our strongest opponents in this season considering our experience with them since 2019 as mentioned, but since Nigerians supper Eagles are playing home.

The better capitalize on that home advantage to break that record this time and hold up to the trophy as the representative of Africa in the coming World Cup, at least Nigeria has to qualify by all means regardless if they have a bounty or not that is not withstanding.
