South Africa vs Nigeria: Moses reveals his expectations in 2019 AFCON qualifier

Super Eagles star, Moses Simon has revealed what he expects when Nigeria tackle South Africa in the 2019 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifying fixture on November 17.

The Levante forward says he expects Gernot Rohr’s men to defeat the Bafana Bafana at the FNB Stadium on Saturday in front of their home fans.

Rohr’s men head to the game after defeating Libya 3-2 in their last game, while South Africa played 1-1 draw with Seychelles at home.

Nigeria is on top of the group with nine points from four fixtures, while South Africa is in second place with eight points from the same number of games.

”We lost the first game due to avoidable errors, something we have fixed. The aim is to beat them in South Africa, if they can beat us in Uyo we can also beat them in Johannesburg,” Owngoalnigeria quoted Moses as saying.

“A point will be good to see us through to next year Africa Cup of Nations but we are going there to play for a win.”
