'We know them' - Osimhen reveals Super Eagles have the lowdown on Guinea-Bissau 

Victor Osimhen has revealed that the Super Eagles players have the lowdown on Guinea-Bissau, their next opponent at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. 

Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau will face off at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Monday evening, with the Djurtus facing the daunting task of needing a win to have any hope of qualifying for the last 16 of the AFCON.

Guinea-Bissau caused a sensation by securing a 1-0 road win against the Super Eagles in 2023 AFCON qualifying. 

Eighteen players named in Nigeria's matchday squad for the defeat to the Djurtus on March 24, 2023, including Osimhen, are with the team in Ivory Coast and are seeking revenge against the team coached by Baciro Cande.

Osimhen revealed that the Super Eagles will study the tape of the loss to Guinea-Bissau and come up with a strategy to beat the West African side. 

"We know them, we played them in the qualifying series. They are a dangerous team if you let them play," Osimhen told reporters in Abidjan after the Ivory Coast versus Nigerian game. 

"I think we'll go back to the last game in which they won and then we'll start the game and come up really strong against them."

The last time both teams met at the Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Eagles defeated Guinea-Bissau 2-0 thanks to second half goals from Umar Sadiq and Wiliam Troost-Ekong.
