The head coach of Benin Republic, Gernot Rohr, has said his team will go into Monday’s clash with Nigeria as underdogs, but they will target a win.
The Squirrels welcome the Super Eagles in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
Rohr’s side will go into the game following a 1-0 win against Rwanda, which put them in third place on four points.
Nigeria are yet to record a win in the qualifying series, after drawing all their three games and sit in fifth place.
”Nigeria is a great team. We are the underdogs but we will play tomorrow to win,” Rohr told reporters.
Rohr is a former Super Eagles head coach and was in charge from 2016 to 2021, qualifying them for the 2019 and 2021 AFCONs.
