We will do everything to beat Eagles — G’Bissau

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 22, 2024

Guinea-Bissau are optimistic about ending their campaign on a positive note when they take on the Super Eagles in their last Group A game at the 2023 AFCON at the Stade Félix Houphoüet-Boigny, Abidjan on Monday (today).

The Wild Dogs, who currently sit bottom of the Group, having lost two of their matches, have nothing to play for except pride and are looking to create one of the upsets of the tournament before they exit.

Guinea-Bissau are familiar opponents of Nigeria, having beaten the Super Eagles 1-0 in Abuja during the qualifiers for the competition in March 2023.

“Mentally we will be very strong and go out for a win. We know football has its peculiarities but we would do everything for a win against Nigeria,” Guinea-Bissau coach, Baciro Candé, said during the pre-match press conference on Sunday.

“I believe everything is possible, physically and emotionally we will be ready.”

One of their forwards Carlos Mané also said, “We know it’s now difficult to progress to the next stage but we will play for our families and our country. We will fight with all we have to give a good game against Nigeria.”

A win against Nigeria will take them up to three points, but it won’t be enough to see them make it out of the group as one of the best losers as they are already rocked to the bottom of Group A.
