U23 AFCON Qualifier : Three Reasons Why Nigeria Will Beat Libya On Monday

Nigerians were delighted after the Super Eagles ended their AFCON qualifying campaign on winning note on Friday, March 22.

Rohr's men were unconvincing, however, they managed to grind out a 3-1 victory over Seychelles.

Though the Super Eagles will be involved in a friendly match against Egypt, Nigerians have shifted their focus to Dream team's must-win fixture vs Libya at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on Monday.

Having lost 2-0 to the North African side, Amapakabo's men must score three goals, without conceding, if they are to make it to the next round of the qualifying series.

What are the team's chances of scaling through to the next round of qualifiers?

Allnigeriasoccer.com takes a look at three reasons why Amapakabo's men  should seamlessly defeat Libya.

Home Support

Just as the Super Eagles relied on fans support to get a positive result against Seychelles last night, the Dream Team VII will do the same on Monday.

Fans presence and chants will go a long way to motivate the Olympic side throughout the tough encounter.

Addition of Super Eagles players

If Gernot Rohr's comment during his post-match conference is anything to trust, then, Super Eagles 19-year-old goalie Francis Uzoho is going to man the post for the Dream Team.

Amapakabo's goalkeeping department was a total mess in the first leg as Abubakar Adamu was given his marching orders after handling the ball outside his box which affected the coach's tactical plan.

Irrespective of his howler which led to Seychelles single goal on Friday, Uzoho will surely be an upgrade to Oremade in the return leg.

More Training Sessions

Dream Team VII had a single training session prior to the defeat in the first leg.

It is a different scenario this time as the players have been training together since the defeat on Wednesday.

They now understand themselves much more better, and they will certainly come up with match-winning performance on Monday.
