12 Gernot Rohr admitted it will be difficult for his Benin Republic side to beat the Super Eagles again.
The Cheetahs recorded a famous 2-1 victory over the three-time African champions in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in June.
Benin Republic will need to repeat similar result to boost their chances of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Rohr claimed his side must be well organised to achieve victory.

“In June, Nigeria was not at full strength. Now they are. The only player missing is Ajayi, who is injured. We know they are the favourites and it will take a feat to beat them again,” the Germany said during his interaction with the media.
“Despite the absences we have, we are confident that we can play a good game and get a good result.
“The key to this match will certainly be good organisation. Our newly composed defence will also have to perform well, because we have had to reshape our back line several times already.
” If we are in a good place, if we manage to develop our football as we have been doing for about a year and a half, I believe we can put them in danger. All the victories we have had here prove that we have no say in the matter, even against a big team.”
