Nigerian Midfielder Joe Aribo is confident the team will leave Porto Novo with a very good result come Saturday.
The Super Eagles will lock horns with Squirrels of Benin Republic for a place in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The three times African champions will go into the game as Group leaders, but a defeat will see the Squirrels leap frog them.
Speaking ahead of the crunch game, Aribo hinted that Gernot Rohr’s side will go into the match full with confidence.
” I don’t really have any fears or worries, I just know we need to stay together as a team, we need to fight together, give 100 percent for the Country and for everyone watching and hopefully get the result we can get,” said the Midfielder.
“We know them a lot, we’ve played them once before and we’re going to study them even more in the coming days leading up to the game.”
Since making his debut in 2019, Aribo has played in different positions in the middle of the part and has performed exceptionally well.
When asked about his best position, the Glasgow Rangers midfielder said :
” I’d say I’m more box to box; I like to get up and down the pitch because I want to start attacks from deep but also I have an eye for goals, so I’d say box to box.”
