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.
This is good motivation for the players but despite the show of kindness and morale boost to the team they can only play to their capacity and will also lose when they are outplayed lol. I am counting on the Super Eagles to replicate the performance level they showed against Rwanda against Zimbabwe by beating them comfortably.
