Nigeria Vs Zambia: Super Eagles Friendly On Tuesday November 15 @ 4.30pm

The Super Eagles of Nigeria under new manager, Stephen Keshi will play host to the Chipolopolo of Zambia in an International friendly on Tuesday, 15th November at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna The Nigerians only last Saturday were held to a goalless draw by AFCON debutants, Rwanda in an international friendly at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City in Keshi's first assignment and will be hoping to get a win on Tuesday. The Chipolopolo are using it as a warm-up and launchpad for their 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Finals preparation in which they have being drawn against Libya, Senegal and co-hosts Equatorial Guinea while Nigeria seeks to rebuild after missing out of the continental championship as it will be without a competitive game until mid-2012 when it will play against Rwanda and Malawi in the AFCON 2013 and World Cup 2014 qualifiers. It was the Eagles that denied the Chipolopolo their first ever AFCON win in 1994 when Emmanuel Amuneke scored a brace to cancel Elijah Litana’s opening goal in that memorable final in Rades, Tunisia. The Nigerians also saw off the Zambians at the quarter-final stage of the 2010 AFCON in Angola courtesy of penalties when regulation time ended goalless. So whats your prediction for today's game?
