He acknowledged the potential tactical advantage that Benin coach Gernot Rohr, a former Nigeria manager, could have due to his intimate knowledge of the Nigerian team.
"We have worked with Gernot Rohr for so many years, he was our head coach, a very good coach no doubt. He knows us in and out, he is part of us. We also know him inside and out. We know what he is capable of but Nigeria is a country we don't toil with," Eguavoen stated.
Despite the potential challenge posed by Rohr's familiarity with the Nigerian team, Eguavoen remains confident in his team's ability to secure a positive result.
"We fight for every ball and every point and that's what we want to do tomorrow. In respect to that, Benin is not a pushover but we work hard to make sure we achieve our objective," he added.
