Nigeria forward Ahmed Musa has insisted that Libya are “more scared” of Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between the two nations.
Both teams will lock horns at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in a crunch fixture.
The Super Eagles, who secured an 3-0 thumping of Seychelles on match-day 2 of the qualifiers, currently sit one point adrift of Group E leaders Libya.
“Libya will be our guests this weekend in the AFCON qualifiers. They are on top of the table but we aren’t scared of them in any way,” the Al Nassr star mused to Sports247.ng.
“[They are] more scared of this game than we are. We will aim to put them under pressure in the early embers of the game and score an early goal. If we do that the pendulum will switch in our favour.”
Nigeria will host the first leg at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Saturday 13th October with the return leg scheduled for the 18,000-capacity Stade Taïeb Mhiri in the city of Sfax, Tunisia on Tuesday 16th October.
