We will surprise Nigeria! – Benin fans talk tough ahead of Super Eagles visit!

Ahead of the Super Eagles and the Squirrels Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifier match on Saturday, some fans of Benin Republic’s national team have boasted that the Eagles will be no match for their team when they face off at the Charles de Gaulle Stadium, Porto Novo.

The Super Eagles defeated Benin 2-1 in the first fixture of the AFCON qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo in November,2019 courtesy of goals from Victor Osimhen and Samuel Kalu after Stephane Sessegnon’s  early minute goal.

The  fans were optimistic that the Squirrels would crush the star-studded Nigerian side on Saturday.

“I am very confident that we are going to defeat Nigeria on Saturday in Porto Novo,” Vinabrede Paul said.

“I used to have sleepless nights whenever we wanted to play Nigeria, but not anymore. We have players who can match the Eagles because some of our players now play abroad and are in the same class with the Nigerian players,” Vodounon Hunsa boasted.

The match is slated for 5 p.m at the Charles De Gaulle Stadium in Port Novo.
