Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali says the team has more quality than the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
Nigeria and South Africa will renew their rivalry in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Uyo next Friday.
The Super Eagles defeated Hugo Broos’ side in their recent meeting at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Bafana Bafana has a slight edge ahead of the Super Eagles in Group C as they occupy second position with three points.
The Eagles have amassed two points from the same number of matches.
Nwabali insisted they had the quality to finish top of the group.
“Football is the same everywhere but I don’t feel that with the kind of players we have, we can have any challenge in any game, especially in our group. But you cannot predict football,” the Chippa United goalie told Lagos Talks.
“Talking about South African players I would say I know them. We have good players in our country too so I’m not talking about those guys, they are good in their own way of playing.
“I’m not talking about them because if we can put ourselves together, they cannot match us.”
