Zimbabwe midfielder, Andy Rinomhota is optimistic the Warriors can get a positive result against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Michael Nees’s side will be up against the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles are overwhelming favourites to win the game going by their pedigree and quality of players in the team.
Nigeria held the Warriors to a 1-1 draw earlier in the campaign in Butare.
Rinomhota believed that they could take positives from that performance ahead of the reverse fixture.
“Yeah, I think we’re just very open, optimistic. We obviously think we can go and get a result,” he said after the team’s first training session in Uyo on Sunday.
“We got a result against them [Super Eagles] in the past (1-1), albeit in our home environment, say, even though it was in Rwanda. But that was my first game, so that was straight in the test for me.
“But I think even me coming into it in a new environment, the team did really well in that situation, got a 1-1 draw, could have even won that game. So we’re looking to do the same,” he added.
