Nigeria will start on the road to defend the Afcon U-20 crown this weekend in Bujumbura when they face Burundi in the first leg 2nd round qualifier against the minnows.

Coach of Nigeria’s Flying Eagles, Emmanuel Amuneke cautions against underrating the East Africa side.

The Flying Eagles won the last edition of the competition in Senegal, which also earned the team a ticket to the World Cup. However, Amuneke has stressed that he’ll focus on the objective of playing for a result rather than talk down the chances of Saturday’s hosts.
