Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has stated that victory against Cameroon in Uyo would go a long way in the team’s qualification for next year’s World Cup in Russia.
The Eagles host the Indomitable Lions at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday, September 1, before travelling to Yaounde for the reverse fixture on Monday.
Mikel, who is making a return to the squad, admitted that they had a tough game against the African champions but expressed optimism that they would soar above the Lions on match day.

“These three points will go a long way in our qualifying campaign. We have got a very good team. We have got a very young team with a lot of quality,” Mikel told SCORENigeria.
“We are on top of the table on six points and we want to win. Cameroon also want to win, so it’s really going to be a do-or-die affair. We are looking forward to the game and we want to make sure we qualify and hopefully we will do that. We need to make sure we qualify first. There is a big task ahead of us”
