Comoros head into the encounter on the back of an emphatic performance in the previous round, where they thrashed Sudan 30-0 on aggregate.

Despite Nigeria’s superior pedigree and the quality of players at their disposal, Eguavoen has stressed the importance of approaching the tie with the right attitude.

The interim coach expressed confidence in his team’s ability to progress to the next round but insisted that the Super Falcons must respect their opponents and remain focused on executing their game plan.

“I believe no team can come here and survive. But we are not looking down on anyone. We’re not looking down on our opponents, really, with all respect. We stick to our game plan and just make sure we deliver,” Eguavoen told reporters in Ikenne.
