Nigeria Tipped to Win Today's Clash Kick-Off Time @ 8pm

Namibia’s interim coach, Ricardo Mannetti has the unenviable task of facing African champions, Nigeria whom plays today without several first-team stars who have been ruled out of today's 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier for varying reasons. 

Also, Namibia is faced with another setback as a number of Foreign-based professionals, Ronald Ketjijere (University of Pretoria), Henrico Botes (Platinum Stars), Heini Isaacks (Maritzburg United) and Rudolf Bester (Orlando Pirates) are all injured.

To make matters worse for Namibia and much better for the Eagles, There was more bad news from the injury room for Mannetti on Tuesday as it was revealed that the duo of Oliver Risser (Aldershot Town) and Manfred Starke (Hansa Rostock) will both miss the game as a result of injury and illness respectively while the biggest absentee however is captain, Da Costa Angulo who will also miss the match due to suspension following two previous yellow cards against Malawi and Kenya. 

According to sources, Mannetti has however refused to let his head drop in the face of the obvious setbacks and is looking to go for the kill against the African champions. 

“The only thing that I can predict is that these boys will not roll over and be taken for a ride on this pitch on Wednesday evening. These guys will fight for the entire 90 minutes and they will make every Namibian fan very proud of being a Namibian,” he told namibiasport.com.na. 

“We need all the Namibian fans to get behind this team and forget about the fact that (former coach) Roger (Palmgren) is not there. 

Nigeria currently leads Group F of African zone 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifying with eight points from four matches while Namibia will be eliminated from the race to Brazil if they fail to win against the Super Eagles on Wednesday. 

The game kicks off at 8pm at the Sam Nujuoma stadium, Windhoek.
