Namibia vs Nigeria preview

The Brave Warriors of Namibia will host the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a FIFA World cup qualifier on Wednesday night. The South African team has four points from four games while their visitors are on top of the group with 8 points.

The Namibian national team coach resigned from his position on Monday morning after receiving death threats from unknown persons.

Roger Palmgren masterminded a draw against Malawi in Blantyre last week.

These two sides have met five times between 2001 and 2013. The African champions defeated Namibia on those occasions. The two previous meetings in Windhoek ended in a slim 1-0 win for Nigeria.

The first leg of this tie ended by the same goal margin in Calabar. Ahmed Musa is expected to lead the attack of Nigeria together with Brown Ideye and/or Joseph Akpala.

Sunday Mba,Mikel Obi and Ogenyi Onazi are some other players that will feature in the match.

Steven Keshi is expected to lead Nigeria to another win after last Wednesday's triumph in Nairobi.

Meanwhile, fans of the reigning African champions have warned the team not to underrate the 'Brave Warriors' of Namibia due to the resignation of Roger Palmgren.

Kick off time: 19:00GMT
