Falconets coach Dedevbo targets win over South Africa in World Cup qualifier on Saturday

Dedevbo said their aim is to win convincingly so as to make a mere formality the reverse fixture in Johannesburg.
“We ended on Thursday our preparations, we are resting today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) is the match day and I believe we are ready for South Africa.
“The crucial encounter involves familiar opponents, South Africa know us inside out same way, too we know them so it will be an interesting match.
“However, we want to win and win convincingly so that when we go to Johannesburg for the reverse fixture it will be relatively a cheap game.
“The players are in high spirit to get the match perfectly done and secure the vital World Cup ticket for Nigeria.
“There is no injury worry so we will field the very best legs against the South Africans,” said the former Flamingoes coach to supersport.com.

Falconets were runners-up in the immediate past edition in Canada.
