However, the manager of the NPFL champions is optimistic that the Super Eagles can get a win in Kaduna and play for a draw in the return leg in Alexandria, stressing that the players in the squad deliver most when they are under pressure.

“Will be a tough game certainly, I know that the Egypt team is in good condition now while there are a number of changes in Nigeria, “ Paul Aigbogun told reporters.

“In contrast, the team of Egypt is in a state of stability now, which would benefit any team for sure.

“But at the same time the Nigeria squad is known to me , they offer the best performance when playing under pressure. “

Aigbogun continued: “But Kaduna match will not be easy on the Egyptians.  I think the best for Nigeria is a win here and trying to get a point off the second game.

“But all that will be determined according to the result of the first match. “
