> h1. Nigeria Olympic Eagles Vs Liberia - All African Games Qualifier Preview
> The U-23 Senior National football team of Nigeria will on Saturday 16th April
> 2011 lock horns with their Liberian counterpart in an All African Games
> qualifier which will be played at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Complex at 8pm
> Nigerian time.

> The Dream team V were ruthless were ruthless in their 1st round demolition of
> Equatorial Guinea whom they defeated 5-0 in the 1st leg played at the Samuel
> Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City Nigeria before completing the job in the
> reverse played at Malabo winning 4-1 to advance to the 2nd round on a 9-1
> goal aggregate with goals coming from Nnamdi Odumadi, Ekigho Ehiosun, Lukman
> Haruna, Nosa Igiebor and Danny Uchechi.
> The encounter with Liberia will see a handful of foreign-based players in a
> team which is wholly dominated by home-based players who were part of the 1st
> round triumph against Equatorial Guinea. Super Eagles fringe player Ekigho
> Ehiosun who scored on his debut for the senior National team the Super Eagles
> will likely be leading the teams attack. He also scored in both leg of their
> clash with Equatorial Guinea, hitting a hat trick in the reverse fixture.
> The starting line-up will largely be dominated by few foreign-based players
> like Nnamdi Odumadi, Rabiu Ibrahim and Daniel Uchechi. Goalkeeper Dele
> Ajiboye will likely be between the sticks while defender Kingsley Udoh and
> Ibok Edet will create enough defensive covering. The winner of the two-legged
> tie will square up against the winner of Ghana versus Benin fixture for the
> Zone 3 ticket.
> *Liberia team*
> Not much is known about the Olympic team of Liberia, but they have a strong
> squad with the ability to create an upset if given the opportunity. The team
> recently lost one of their star players- Patrick Doeplah in a mysterious
> circumstance prior to their qualifying game against Ivory Coast.
> *Prediction*
> The Dream team V has enough ammunition at their disposal to see off any
> opposition from the Liberian team. Nigeria has always been a dominate force
> at this level and the trend will most likely continue. The Olympic Eagles
> should be able to get all three points at stake in this encounter. The best
> result the Liberians can get is a draw which may only occur if Coach Austin
> Eguaveon decides to deploy a more defensive approach to the game.
> Both teams have never met at this level of the competition and the encounter
> promises to be very exciting as both teams would desperately be playing for
> the maximum three points at stakes.
