Duncan Crowie, Head Coach of South Africa U17 boys national side is envisaging an epic meeting between his team and Nigeria in their final group stage match at the U17 African Cup of Nations on Saturday.

A 3-2 triumph over Zambia in the second group game brighten the South Africans chances of progression.

With a third group fixture against two-time winners, the South African tactician expects his team to aim for at least a draw to scale through to the quarter finals.

“Nigeria was very unfortunate not get a goal against Morocco. They are a quality team. So, it is going to be very tough game,” Crowie told CAFOnline.com.

“I will analyse deeply how Nigeria played in their last two games and plan on how to play against them. We hope to get at least a draw from the game against Nigeria.”

South Africa are on the same three points with Nigeria after two games but the Golden Eaglets are above based superior goals difference.
