69 Guinea-Bissau head coach Baciro Cande believes the Super Eagles have what it takes to win a fourth title at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
Nigeria earned a place in the Round of 16 following a 1-0 win against the Djurtus at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Monday night.
Opa Sangante’s own goal separated both teams on the night.
Guinea-Bissau exited the competition without recording a win and scored twice in three games.

Cande, who masterminded Guinea-Bissau’s victory against Nigeria in the qualifiers has backed the Super Eagles to go all the way.
‘”Nigeria have a good team, a lot of quality players including Victor Osimhen who is the Africa’s best player,” Cande said during his interaction with the media after the game.
“It is a team I know very well and I believe they will go far in this competition.
“I believe they can win it. They are now among the favourites.”
The Super Eagles will meet the second-place team in Group C in the Round of 16 at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium on Saturday.
