Nigeria's Golden Eaglets will seek to win a record fourth Fifa Under-17 World Cup title when they face defending champions, Mexico in Abu Dhabi this Friday.
The Mexicans and Nigerians got into final on the back of impressive and flattery three-nil wins in the semis against Argentina and Sweden respectively on Tuesday.
Both teams had earlier met in the group stage when Nigeria ran out 6-1 victors against Mexico's El Tri in Al Ain City on October 19.
Nigeria playmaker, Kelechi Iheanacho, is wary of the threat the North Americans can pose when both teams clash at the Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium in the final match.
Iheanacho, now in the running for the tournament's most valuable player and golden boot, also made a bold declaration that the Golden Eaglets can be unstoppable when they get into their strides.
"I'm sure they won't feel great about that first result. They'll want to put pressure on us and we'll have to be careful. We'll respect them but it's hard to go against us when we're playing our good football," Iheanacho, who scored four times in Mexico's 6-1 demolition in the first meeting, told Fifa.com.
Nigeria's superb run at the Fifa Under-17 Cup in the UAE is underscored by their flowing style of football and remarkable scoring rate which has seen them net 23 goals in six games averaging 3.8 goals per game.
Now that should be a source of concern for the Mexicans but their leading scorer, Ivan Ochoa, who has scored four times, holds a different view.
"We've got some unfinished business with them (the Nigerians)," Ochoa told Fifa.com.
Mexico might be the titleholders but Nigeria are favourites to land a record fourth title having won the Under-17 World Cup in 1985, 1993 and 2007. Brazil are the other only nation to have won the tournament on three occasions in 1997, 1999 and 2003.
The Nigerians have however finished as runners-up in three editions in 1987, 2001 and 2009.
On the other hand, the Mexicans have won the Under-17 World Cup twice in 2005 and 2011 and those were the only two times they reached the showpiece game.
The Mexicans are also aiming to become the second nation to win back-to-back tournaments at this level in men's football after Brazil.
Definitely Raul Gutierrez's boys will want to keep that tradition of not losing in the final going but the impressive Nigerians will once again provide them another stern test once they get their engines raving at full strength.
The showpiece match of the 2013 Fifa Under-17 World Cup between Nigeria and Mexico will be live on SuperSport 3 and in High Definition from 5.45pm CAT (4.45pm Nigerian time) this Friday.
