After Tuesdays embara sing defensive performance, Benin will be looking to redeem themselves with a respectable performance and, hopefully, result against Nigera. Larry Ogunjobi Jersey The pre sure is on the Super Eagles, as they know anything le s than three points today may result in a humiliating early exit for one of Africas biggest clubs.Nigeria will be looking to bounce back from their midweek disappointmentAlthough the dark cloud of failure is currently looming over Nigeria, their players, whose confidence will undoubtably be dented after their 3-1 defeat to rivals Egypt earlier in the week, will be determined to progre s in the competition. As a result, they can not be taken lightly. 37 FIFA World Ranking places and several big-name players separate the two teams, and the Super Eagles will be looking to use their extra quality to grind out a victory.Benin will have to be aware of the threat Nigeria pose up front and in the middle. John Obi Mikel, Seyi Olofinjana and Nwankwu Kanu are three Premier League midfield maestros with plenty of experience their knowledge of the physical Jim Brown Jersey English game will certainly be something the predominantly French-based Benin squad will have to try and contain. A strikeforce of Nigerias man of the match versus Egypt Chinedu Obasi, and up-and-coming star Victor Obinna, will trouble Benins back four greatly. Any more goalkeeping errors by Djidonou will surely be snapped up and capitalised on immediately.More goalkeeping errors are not on the agenda for BeninThe Squirrels coach Michel Du suyer has a large task on hand, to carry out the unthinkable and take points off the giants of Nigeria. Yet it is certainly po sible ifimmense pre sure and nerves gets the better of hisopponents. Khaled Adenon and Damien Chrysostome managed to contain Mozambique reasonably well in defence, and providing Djidonou puts in a much improved performance, there is every chance they can keep Sheldon Richardson Jersey out a shaky Nigerian team. Stephane Se segnon will be motivated to showcase his skills against some of Africas most impre sive players to help his national side to victory, if not to attract attention from other European clubs. Talisman Razak Omotoyo si and young centre forward Mohamed Adou will alsobe looking to put themselves on the scoresheet.Nigeria head coach Shaibu Amodu will make changes ahead of this evenings game. Former Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins is out with a thigh injury, but Osaze Odemwingie will be eyeing a starting place after recovering from flu. A defensive shake-up is also on the cards, as Taye Taiwo, Yusuf Mohamed and Obinna Nwaneri appear likely to make way for Elderson Echiejile, Chidi Odiah and Duke Johnson Jersey Onyekachi Apam. Du suyer has little need to alter his team, other than po sibly his goalkeeper, but a change between the sticks is unlikely. Instead, he will be relying on Nigerian-born Omotoyo si and Mouri Ogunbiyi to put in impre sive performances against their home country.It is not just a place in the next round at stake Omotoyo si and Martins have a $25,000 bet on victory. According to the Benin forward, I said we Greedy Williams Jersey (Benin) are going to win. Then he said okay if Benin win, then you (Omotoyo si) will get twenty five thousand dollars and I said no problem and that if Nigeria win I will give him twenty five thousand dollars and we sealed it there. Its a deal. I dont know how it got to journalists but the deal is sealed. He is my best friend so he cannot run away.PredictionUnfortunately for Benin, Nigeria will show their true strength, defeating the Squirrels to avoid an embara sing exit and leaving Du suyer to rue previous defensive frailties.Benin 1-3 NigeriaSe segnon Obasi x 2, Mikel
