Should the Super Eagles drop points in their next fixture against Rwanda in Kigali, they will face dreadful problems in the World Cup qualifiers.
A win for Rwanda will see the Group C leaders galloping away as they are privileged to have back-to-back home games.
After hosting Nigeria next Friday, Rwanda will again host Lesotho four days later as they target six points that could take their haul to 13 at the close of matchday 6.
Even the coach of Lesotho, Leslie Notsi is already anticipating this as he admitted that it will be tough to overcome Rwanda when the two sides go head-to-head.
Should Rwanda win that match, they would have achieved a double as they won the reciprocal duel, 1-0 last June.
“Rwanda are leading the group. They have also played very well, winning against the best, against South Africa and Nigeria (in AFCON qualifiers),” Notsi reportedly remarked in a report in Rwanda’s leading newspaper, The New Times.
“So we are expecting another tricky fixture, but we’ve been there before, like you know, to other bigger countries, and we’ve come away with some decent results. So we are just going to go there and do our level best.”
