Ahead of the last Group B game at the African U-17 Cup of Nations, Golden Eaglets coach, Nduka Ugbade claimed he knows what to expect from his opposition, South Africa, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Nigeria after defeating Zambia in their first game, lost 1-0 to Morocco in the second group game.

South Africa who are tied on points with Nigeria won their last game after losing to same Morocco in their opening game.

Although Ugbade’s men sit second by superior goal difference but will need to avoid defeat when they take on the COSAFA champions later today.

“We are prepared against South Africa, we saw the game they played against Zambia, totally different from the first one,” Ugbade said in a short video posted on NFF TV.

“When you look critically to the situation the two of them met at the COSAFA and Zambia won 1-0. I’ve seen the whole team, very strong team my concern is more about development.”

The two-time champions will be up against the Amajimbos at the Stade Mohammed Hamlaoui by 8pm.
