Head coach of the Benin Republic mens football team, Gernot Rohr, has admitted Nigeria were not at their best when his side emerged winners the last time both teams met, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 71-year-old masterminded the Lions of Benin Republic to a 2-1 win over his former side back in June, despite Nigeria drawing first blood at the Olympic Stadium in Ivory Coast.
Both sides meet again today as they kick-start their journey to secure a spot at the AFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco, and Rohr admitted Nigeria have a much better team on their hands now, and itll be difficult to come away with a win.
Additionally, the German tactician admitted his experience as the former Coach of the Super Eagles gives his side an edge.
Kick off time is slated for 5:00pm WAT at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
