• The final group matches of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations continue in Ivory Coast
• The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to face the struggling Djurtus of Guinea Bissau
• Coach, Jose Peseiro has disclosed his immediate target ahead of the crunch clash

The Super Eagles of Nigeria look to wrap up their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) group-stage campaign in style when they face off against basement side, Guinea Bissau.

A convincing victory against the Djurtus, who pose a potential challenge, could propel the Super Eagles to the top of their group following a pivotal win over Ivory Coast.

However, securing a win against Baciro Cande's team poses a significant challenge for Nigeria, especially considering the surprising defeat the West African nation suffered against Guinea Bissau in Abuja in March last year.
