Former Nigeria captain Segun Odegbami has labeled the Super Eagles ‘underdogs’ ahead of Wednesday’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against South Africa at the Cairo International Stadium.
Odegbami scored twice at Afcon 1980 to hand Nigeria a maiden African title, and while he is hoping they win fourth title in Egypt, he has identified Bafana Bafana as a team capable of stopping coach Gernot Rohr’s men.
According to the former skipper - fondly called ‘The Mathematical’ - the Super Eagles will need to be at their best to overcome the South Africans, who now believe they have mastered the act of beating Nigeria after years of futile efforts.
