The head coach of the Amavubi of Rwanda, Frank Spittler, is counting on home advantage to edge out Nigeria's Super Eagles in their upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier on Tuesday. After securing a 1-1 draw against Libya in Tripoli on Wednesday, Spittler believes his team is prepared to capitalize on their home ground to secure a vital win. "We know our next game against Nigeria won't be easy, but we hope to make the best out of our home advantage," he stated, underscoring the importance of this match in Kigali.
The draw against Libya has boosted Rwanda's confidence going into the crucial clash. "Every point counts, and this draw with Libya brings us more confidence," Spittler remarked, highlighting the determination within the squad. With the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali set to host the match, the Rwandan side is aiming to leverage the familiarity and support from home fans to pose a strong challenge to the Nigerian team, which is considered one of the top contenders in the qualifiers.
Spittler's confidence is grounded in the team's recent performances and the tactical preparations they have undertaken ahead of the encounter. He has urged his players to stay focused and maximize the advantages of playing at home. Meanwhile, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, who are known for their attacking prowess, will also be keen to secure a win to maintain their standing in the qualifiers. The outcome of this match could prove pivotal for both teams as they vie for a spot in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
