France interim coach, Laurent Bonadie has praised the quality of Nigeria's Super Falcons team ahead of their friendly match at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Despite France's unbeaten record against the West Africans, Bonadie is expecting a tough test from the nine-time African champions.
"Nigeria was at the Olympics where they finished last in Group C, but Spain could only beat them 1-0," Bonadie told L'équipe.
"Also at the World Cup, England defeated them 4-2 on penalties. It's a solid team, with powerful and fast players. It's a tough team to stop."
Bonadie believes that France will need to be vigilant and take advantage of the Super Falcons' weaknesses in order to secure a positive result.
"We must take advantage of their imbalances, too, in counter-pressing," he added.
"You will have to attack them while being vigilant about the transitions. We will need to be focused and disciplined to get the result we want."
