The head coach of Nigeria’s men’s national football team, Jose Peseiro, anticipates a challenging encounter in their upcoming friendly game against Saudi Arabia. The two teams are scheduled to face each other on Friday in Portugal. This will be the second meeting between the Super Eagles and the Arab nation, with the previous encounter resulting in a goalless draw during a friendly match in 2010.

Saudi Arabia, a three-time Asian champion, surprised football fans by defeating Argentina 2-1 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Peseiro, who previously coached the Saudi Arabian team from 2000 to 2011, is well aware of their capabilities and approaches this match with caution.

“Saudi was the last team to beat Argentina, so I expect a hard match. It will also be a good test for our team as we aim to start on the front foot against them,” said Peseiro during a press conference on Thursday. He emphasized the importance of victory in this friendly, alongside defeating Mozambique, in order to prepare adequately for the first two games of the World Cup qualifiers.

The Super Eagles are determined to secure their place in the next World Cup and understand the significance of solid preparations. Peseiro’s objective is to ensure the team is well-prepared and in top form for the forthcoming qualifiers. With high hopes and aspirations for future victories, the Nigerian national team faces a challenging but crucial match against Saudi Arabia.
