Siasia predicts 3-0 win over Guinea

BY OKEY NDIRIBE, Abuja
Super Eagles Coach Samson Siasia yesterday  predicted that the Super Eagles would defeat the  Guinean National Team by a 3-0 margin when the two sides clash in Abuja next month to decide which team picks the only slot from the group for forth-coming Africa Cup of Nations  to be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

He made the prediction while speaking to Sports Writers at the headquarters of the Nigeria Football Federation  in Abuja.

He further stated that preparations for the match would begin next week when he meets the Technical Committee of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the handling of the match

adding that it is a very important match.

Commenting on acts of indiscipline that were recently exhibited by Vincent Enyeama which led his non-inclusion during the match against the National Team of  Madagascar in Antananarivo, he said that even though the goalkeeper had apologized to him, the matter had already been referred to the NFF which had to take its final decision on what to do.

He also said he was impressed with the present performance of Osaze Odewingie in West Brom as he scored in his first match of the season adding that he expected the same level of performance from the striker  in his future outings for the National team.

He also expressed satisfaction with the performance of  all the new players he introduced in the match against Madagascar  and the friendly against Argentina.
