The leaders of the group in Nigeria will question their possibilities to collect the three points when they face Botswana at Casablanca on Thursday, in their second game of the countryside determined to win a tenth Women Africa Cup of Nations Title.
The Super Falcons have wasted little sweat in sending the senior girls of Tunisia 3-0 in their first game of the countryside and will book a first slot in the quarterfinals if they collect three other points against the southern Africans at the Larbi Zaouli stadium, at a game starting from 20:00.
Three years ago, in the twelfth edition of the competition hosted by the same country, the Falcons have marked a goal in every half (courtesy of Ifeoma Onumonu and Christy Ucheibo) to turn the hopes of the Botswanan in ash of the Stade Prince Moulay El Hassan.
The opposition will have a number of new birds with which to face on Thursday, with artists of the caliber of Esther Okoronkwo (woman of the match against Tunisia), Jennifer Echegini, Babajide and Chinwendu Ihezuo renizes and will probably present a number of problems at the revolt, alongside the well -known faces of the captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala and Thozuo.
The leader of the coach Justine Madugu can take the opportunity to start with Christy Ucheibo, Halimatu Ayinde and Jennifer Echegini in midfield, to provide large ammunition for Ajibade, Payne and one of Oshoala and Ihezuo to do the damage.
The goalkeeper Call Nnadozie remains the rock between the posts, with Osinachi Ohale to provide assistance and wisdom for Tosin Demehin, Michelle Alozie and Ashley Plumpre in the back.
Botswana comes into play still breastfeeding their defeat to a goal in Algeria in the first round of games: on the same day when the Falcons hit the Tunisians for three, with Asisat Oshoala, a debutant renizola Babajide and Chinwendu Ihezuor the markers.
Oshoala’s initial goal presented a comfortable evening for the nine times champions and had taken most of the possibilities they had created, the North Africans would return to the locker room with a basket of goals.
“As I said before the start of the tournament, we remain concentrated on our Mission X and we believe that the victory over Botswana is a great chance. We are taking one game at a time without taking any team for granted,” Madugu said to thenff.com.
