Alex Iwobi is optimistic about the Super Eagles’ chances of finishing the international break on a high note by securing a victory against Mali.
Under the leadership of Finidi George, the Nigerian team is set to face off against their West African counterparts at the Grand Stade de Marrakech tonight.
Scheduled to commence at 10:00 pm Nigerian time, the match holds significance for both sides as they vie for supremacy on the football field.
Iwobi, who contributed an assist in the Super Eagles’ recent 2-1 triumph over archrivals Ghana, emphasized the importance of maintaining their winning streak against Mali.
“We have analysed and seen our weak points from the last game. We know where we need to improve and what we can do to get another win,” Iwobi said ahead of the game.
“We don’t really win most of our friendlies. We beat Ghana and hopefully will end this international break with another win against Mali.”
Reflecting on their previous encounters, Nigeria emerged victorious with a 1-0 win against Mali on May 27, 2016, with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring the decisive goal in a match held in the French city of Rouen.
