Tanzania Coach, Mkwasa Plans To Upset Nigeria In Afcon Qualifiers by Nobody: 12:35pm On Aug 15, 2015
The Taifa Stars boss is expecting a tough test next month from the Super Eagles, but insists his side can spring up a surprise against Sunday Oliseh’s men
Tanzania head coach Charles Mkwasa believes his side can spring a surprise when they face Nigeria in September 5 Africa Cup of Nation qualifier in Dar es Salam.

The Taifa Stars are rooted to the foot of Group G having bowed 3-0 to Egypt in their first game of the qualifying series, but the gaffer is hoping for a good showing and has said his players are preparing very hard to upstage the three-time African champions.

“We are preparing very well for the game against Nigeria,” Mkwasa told Brila FM.

“We know that they are one of the strongest teams in Africa but we are preparing well for them. We also know that they will be under pressure to win the match and we know that we are the underdogs despite playing at home.

“In football, anything can happen and because we are not under much pressure, we can spring a surprise in the match.

“Now, we are preparing very well because it is our home ground and we are looking to win the game so as to put ourselves in a good position in the group because of the defeat we suffered in Cairo,” he concluded.

Tanzania will head to Turkey to intensify preparation for the make or break Afcon qualifier against the Super Eagles who defeated Chad 2-0 in the opening game of the qualifiers for Gabon 2017.
