Andy Rinomhota believes the Warriors can claim an away win against Nigeria on Tuesday.
The national team will face the Super Eagles in a 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Group C encounter at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Kick-off is at 6 pm CAT.
The two teams met in the first leg in 2023 and played to a 1-1.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s encounter, Rinomhota, who made his Warriors debut in the return fixture, said:
“We’re optimistic. We got a result against Nigeria last time, even though it was technically a home game in Rwanda.
“That was my first game – it was a big test, and the team did well to draw.
“This time, we want to go a step further. We respect Nigeria, but not too much. We’ll try to impose ourselves. We’ve come here to get a result and keep pushing towards our goal.”
