Zimbabwe head coach Michael Nees believes his team can pull off an upset against the Super Eagles when they meet later this month in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Nigeria will host Zimbabwe on March 25 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo for their matchday six clash. The Super Eagles currently sit fifth in Group C with three points from four games, while Zimbabwe is at the bottom with two points.

With both teams struggling in the qualifiers, a win is crucial to keeping their World Cup hopes alive. Nees is confident his side can take advantage of Nigeria’s poor form.

“Like us, Nigeria is under pressure. They’re like wounded lions looking to bounce back,” he said. “It will be an exciting match, and I believe Nigeria is beatable in Uyo.”
