The Super Eagles B will take on fellow Rwanda -bound Palancas Negras of Angola in an international friendly in Pretoria on Wednesday.
Two goals from Sunshine Stars forward, Tunde Adeniji and and one from Ifeanyi Mathew gave the Super Eagles B a 3-0 victory over University of Pretoria Football Club on Tuesday in a test game.
The Nigerian home-based team, who began training on Sunday after hitting their training camp in South Africa ahead of the 2016 Chan championship in Rwanda, are scheduled to play another test game against Angola on Wednesday, to further blend the team before the tournament kicks off mid January.
Meanwhile, the head coach, Sunday Oliseh, said on Tuesday that he is looking forward to playing the skillful Angolans.
Angola finished as runner-up at the 2nd African Nations Championship in Sudan five years ago, while Nigeria finished in third place at the 3rd edition in South Africa in 2014.
Wednesday’s clash comes five days before another top duel – a friendly with Cote d’Ivoire at the same Tuks University Stadium.
The Super Eagles B delegation will fly into Rwanda on January 15, three days before the team trade tackles with neighbours-to-the-north Niger Republic in their first match of the tournament, at the astro-turf Stade Regional Nyamirambo on the outskirts of Kigali.
Nigeria’s hopefuls, to be captained by left –back Chima Akas in the absence of forward Gbolahan Salami, will also play Tunisia and Guinea in Group C, with the match against the Guineans scheduled for the city of Rubavu.
