Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo has expressed confidence that Gernot Rohr’s side can beat England in Saturday’s pre-World Cup friendly at Wembley Stadium.
The 28-year-old believes the Eagles can defeat the three lions at their ground.
He, however, admitted that the game will be tough.
The three times African champions are already in London for the high profile clash against the three Lions
“I will be facing players who I played against when I played in the Premier League,” Ighalo said in a 44 seconds video published on Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) verified Twitter handle.
“So it’s going to be a good and exciting one and I’m looking forward to it.
“England have a good team, top players going to the World Cup. It’s going to be a difficult game but we want to win every game, do well and correct some mistakes. So like I said, it’s going to be a tough game but it’s possible we win.”
Nigeria and England have faced each other twice: the two teams drew 0-0 at the 2002 World Cup, while the Three Lions won a friendly 1-0 back in 1994.
