Former Nigerian international, Friday Ekpo, is confident that the Super Eagles will qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
Nigeria's Super Eagles face the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia in a decisive Fifa World Cup playoff in Calabar this Saturday.
Ekpo explained that he is backing the African champions to reach the Mundial next year in style by dispatching the Ethiopians after winning the first leg in Addis Ababa last month.
Ekpo warned that the Eagles should not be complacent when they take on the Walya Antelopes this weekend.
"The Super Eagles have been favourites from the day they were drawn against Ethiopia and they proved that in the first leg by winning. It is impossible for the boys not to make sure that they qualify for the World Cup.
"Even without the coaches telling them I know the players know how important it is to play at the World Cup. So I'm confident they will not take chances with Ethiopia though they won the first leg," said Ekpo to supersport.com.
The former Leventis United man refused to be drawn into making any prediction but insisted that the Super Eagles will defeat their Ethiopian counterparts.
"I am confident the team will win but I can say by how many goals," said Ekpo.
The Nigeria-Ethiopia match is live on SuperSport 3 and Select as well as in High Definition from 3.30pm this Saturday.
