Benin Republic’s head coach, Gernot Rohr, has expressed confidence that his team will secure another victory over the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The two sides are set to clash in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Saturday, September 7.
Rohr’s Cheetahs previously defeated the Super Eagles 2-1 during a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in June, a result that has boosted their morale ahead of the upcoming encounter.
Speaking about the match, Rohr stated, “It’s another rematch against Nigeria. It will be three more games with them [including the upcoming return match, counting for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers].” He added, “It’s a rematch against a very good team. But we have gained confidence and we know we can beat them.”
Rohr is set to announce his squad for the crucial qualifier later today.
