The Falcons of Jediane's trainer has said his side
is ready to pick all the three points in the home
of the reigning champions in the Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier today
Head coach of Sudan national team, Mohamed
Abdalla has said his team are anxious for a two-
leg win when they face Nigeria in a 2015 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifier in Abuja on Wednesday.
Sudan defeated the African champions 1-0 in
Khartoum on Saturday through Barki Almadina
after losing their first two opening games in the
qualifiers for next year's 16-nation tournament.
Abdalla insisted that the Falcons of Jediane are
desperate for a second victory over Stephen
Keshi's men in a bid to revive their campaign to
reach the finals in Morocco.
He said they will not allow the Super Eagles any
chance of securing a victory in Nigeria.
“We started the campaign on a wrong note losing
3-0 to South Africa, but this was all because of
the impact of coming out of the fasting period fo
Muslims, which meant that the players were still
weak,” Abdalla was quoted by Africanfootball.
“We know what to expect because Nigeria is
bottom of the table and badly need to get a win.
But we shall not give them that room to do what
they want to do,” he concluded.
Sudan will face an uphill task against Nigeria,
who seek redemption in their qualifiers for
Morocco 2015 to defend their title.
Sudan are third with three points, while Nigeria
with a point sit at the base of the Group A table.
South Africa and Congo are first and second wit
seven and six points respectively.
