Former Nigeria goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu has warned Ghana cannot contain the attacking threat of the Super Eagles ahead of the 2022 World Cup playoff against the Black Stars this month.
The Super Eagles travel to battle the Black Stars on March 25 with the reverse fixture slated for the Abuja stadium four days later.
According to the former Goalkeeper, the black stars of Ghana can’t cope with the attackers of the super eagles.
“Although I expect a very tight game between the Super Eagles and the Black Stars of Ghana, however, I am still optimistic that the strikers at our disposal will be too hot for Ghana to handle,” he said.
“I don’t think they will be able to cope with the firepowers of the Super Eagles strikers such as Ighalo, Sadiq, Dennis, Osimhen, and others in Europe. This is a game the players are desperately waiting for to make the nation proud by qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.”
Nigeria is seeking to qualify for the World Cup a seventh time and, since 1994, has missed only one of seven editions. The last of three appearances by Ghana was in 2014
