Players of the Super Eagles have been warned not to underrate Ghana in their coming 2022 final World Cup playoff which is expected to be tough battles between these two African giants.

The warning came from former Nigeria international Abiodun Obafemi who claimed that Ghana have a formidable team despite crashing out early at the 2021 African Cup of Nations.

Nigeria on the other hand started their campaign impressively winning their first three games at the AFCON 2021 before losing in the knockout stage against Tunisia.

According to the report on GOAL, Abiodun Obafemi stated clearly that the panacea to solve Ghana is by the players taking the two games serious.

Abiodun Obafemi's reaction about Nigeria vs Ghana

“We shouldn’t take the performance of the Black Stars for granted, it will be a mistake to say they didn’t perform very well at the last Afcon and want to use that to determine the forthcoming games.

“Honestly, Ghana will always be Ghana when it comes to playing Nigeria. They have always been formidable opponents and the rivalry is always high. What I will suggest the Eagles do is not to feel too much pressure but must know that this is a game that they must take seriously.”

Odion Ighalo Sends Strong Warning to Ghana Ahead of World Cup Play-Off

The 32-year old striker restored Al-Hilal's lead in the 68th minute after Haroune Camara of Al Ittihad had canceled out Salem Al-Dawsari's initial strike for the hosts.

Ighalo's goal has now taken his tally for Al-Hilal to four goals in the league in only his fourth appearance for the Saudi Arabian side.

The former Manchester United striker's form will come as good news to Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen who recently listed the 32-year-old in Nigeria's roster to tackle Ghana in the World Cup play-offs slated for March.
