“Though it’ll be a difficult encounter given the age long rivalry between both countries but Eagles have the edge with the quality of players in their fold.
“It’ll be certainly an entertaining and interesting encounter to watch only that I’ve to warn the Nigerians to avoid every form of complacency in the clash.
“Ghana have reputation in the age grade cadre as former world champions and that’s the mentality they’re most likely to bring into the game.
