Benin Republic head coach, Gernot Rohr has said his team will exploit the Super Eagles weak defence in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter. The two neighbours will clash in a matchday five encounter at the Felix Houphet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Thursday. The Super Eagles thrashed the Cheetahs 3-0 on matchday one in Uyo.
Rohr has however revealed his plan to stop the three time African champions. “In our list of 25 players for the two decisive matches against Nigeria and Libya, we have the return of two players that we have followed and who have played very well recently,” he told . “It is Serge Obassa in the list of three goalkeepers with Alagbé and Dandjinou.
“And then we also have the return of Lenny Piringuel who, with his new club, Rouen, is starting to find his mark, his liveliness, interests us a lot. Especially against a Nigerian team that could have small problems in defence, we hope.”.
