Aghahowa backs Super Eagles to beat Rwanda

Published on: 04 March 2025

Former Nigeria international, Julius Aghahowa has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles will secure a crucial victory over Rwanda in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifier, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The three-time African champions are under pressure to revive their qualifying campaign, having taken just three points from four matches in Group C.

 

Rwanda have already beaten Nigeria once in recent times, securing a 2-1 win in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Ugo last November.

 

However, Aghahowa believes the Super Eagles have the talent and ability to triumph this time around, as long as they approach the game with the right mentality.

"I am confident that if they go into the game with the right mentality, they will win in Rwanda," Aghahowa told SCORENigeria.

"The boys are on top form, their talent is never in doubt, but they have to work on their mentality when they play for the country."
