<br>"Like us, Nigeria have their back against the wall. They are like wounded lions who want to turn the page after a poor start to the qualifiers. It will be an exciting game, and Nigeria are beatable in Uyo," Nees said. |

|
<br>The last encounter between both nations ended in a 1-1 draw in Rwanda in November 2023. Currently, Nigeria sits fifth in Group C with just three points from four matches, making this a must-win fixture for the Super Eagles. |

|
<br>Michael Nees’ comments should serve as a wake-up call for the Super Eagles. Nigeria has underperformed in the qualifiers, and any slip-up against Zimbabwe in Uyo would severely damage their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. |

|
<br>While [Zimbabwe](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/local-clubs-and-academies/) has nothing to lose, the pressure is firmly on Nigeria to deliver a convincing victory. The Super Eagles must show mental toughness, tactical discipline, and attacking efficiency to silence any doubts about their qualification hopes. |
