Former Super Eagles winger, Clement Temile has charged Eagles to psyche themselves up to confront an Ethiopian side sure to play dirty as well as toy with the spoilers' role.
The 2013 Afcon champions will engage their Ethiopian
counterparts, Walya Antelopes in Saturday's decisive 2014 Fifa World Cup play-offs duel at the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar. The overall winners will qualify for the four-year global football showpiece in Brazil.
Temile said the East Africans are good on the pitch only lacked clinical finishing but urged Eagles to come into the game with a winning aura that will undue the opponents as well as aid their qualification.
"I want Eagles to take the match seriously as there is nothing in the form book that guarantees victory to the side on the basis of first fixture win in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
"Eagles must come into the game with the mindset to qualify for the World Cup.
"Ethiopians play wonderful football but lacked good finishing which is possible their coach would've worked and corrected by the time they'll be squaring up against Nigeria.
"Eagles must expect difficult game from Ethiopia. Of course, they've nothing to lose in the game and that may make the game tricky.
"Ethiopians know it will take miracle for them to beat Eagles for the Brazil 2014 ticket so they're mostly coming to have fun, play dirty and see if they could achieve the spoiler role.
"But Eagles team spirit can always make nonsense the ploys Ethiopians will come up with.
"Though the side play very well in the middle and showed team work as majority of their players play same domestic league I believe Keshi will surely come around it.
"Admitted Eagles midfield was porous in Addis Ababa but its the side that win at the end of the day that's important not the side that play tip-tap style.
"I think Eagles will be up to the task and should be able to subdue the Ethiopians," said the former coach of English side, Kentish Town to supersport.com.
The former Beitar Netanya winger said Eagles should not settle for draw but go for convincingly win.
"Of course, draw will hand the ticket to Nigeria but Eagles shouldn't be satisfied with draw but go all out to record an emphatic win," said the former Bendel Insurance star.
