Ikpeba who a member of the 1994 Eagles that won the African title in Tunisia spoke on SuperSport ahead of the 4pm kick off game.

"I am not a big fan of stats,  but we have the Ingredients to beat the Libyans.

"The tactics  that Gernot Rhor want to utilise don't matter. I love the mindset of the players and team spirit during their training on Thursday.

"We should not underrate them but the attitude I saw gives me the confidence that our boys can do it," Ikpeba enthused.

The Mediterranean Knights are atop the Group E of the AFCON qualification with four points while the Eagles third in the group have three points.
