of Jediane in Saturday's Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier
Nigeria midfielder Ogenyi

face Sudan inn Saturday's
Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
in Khartoum.

Mazda's side will be hoping to
shock Stephen Keshi's men as they seek their first win
of the qualifying campaign as they remain at the base of
Group A with no point from two games.
According to Onazi, the Eagles have made a resolve to
get maximum points toward re-launching their bid to
qualify for Afcon 2015.
"We've put the two previous games behind us now,
our focus is on the game against Sudan and we know
the importance so we're going for an outright win," he
said during a parley with the media.
"We're concentrating on the games, we're looking
forward to it with determination and we have to go out
there, as we've always done and give our 100 percent.
"I don't think we are under, no, there is no pressure on,
instead, it's the Sudanese that should be under
pressure," he continued.
"They are playing at home, they would want to impress
their home supporters and also avoid losing a second
home game in a row. That for us will put them under
pressure and which we will take advantage of.
"We know what is at stake, we know what is expected
from us and we know that Nigerians want nothing but
victory from us in Sudan. We're working hard to come
out victorious in the two games.
Nigeria defeated Sudan 2-0 in an international friendly
played in January 2008 with goals coming from
Ikechukwu Uche and Manasseh Ishaku.
