Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has charged the Rwanda team to try to stop Nigeria's attack following their captain’s claim.
The Super Eagles have struggled in recent matches against Rwanda, despite having world-class forwards such as Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Boniface.
Nigeria drew 1-1 with the Amavubi in Kigali, but then suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat in Uyo during the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
This has given them confidence ahead of the clash, with Djihad Bizimana claiming that his team is not scared of the Super Eagles attack and they have a plan to neutralise their threat.
