The West Africans have endured a poor start in Group C with two draws from their opening two games.

Finidi George’s will be desperate to revive their qualification hopes when they square up with the Super Eagles.

Broos claimed the Super Eagles will be eager not to disappoint their fans which will put them under pressure to win the game.

“We’re no longer afraid, not scared of Nigeria’s ‘Super players’. The onus is on Nigeria not to disappoint their fans who missed the glamour of the last World Cup in Qatar because the Super Eagles did not participate,” Broos said at a press conference in Uyo.
