"We are happy to be here. This is a big game because this is the first game of the tournament. The first game is very important every time. We are happy to play this game in Fes; for sure, we want to win this game."
"The spirit in camp is very high. This game is very important for us to assess the momentum. The guys are really ready and focused on this game. This is a game we are very prepared to win."
Prediction: Nigeria to win 3-0. Nigeria will face Tanzania in AFCON Group C at Fez Stadium, kick-off 5:30pm UK time on Tuesday. Nigeria reached the previous AFCON final and enter as one of the tournament favourites. Group C also contains Tunisia and Uganda, and Nigeria aim to top the group with nine points. A likely 4-3-3 lineup lists Stanley Nwabali; Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Zaidu Sanusi; Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi; Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman. Tanzania have never advanced beyond the group stage and are expected to be modest contenders. Nigeria will be determined to go all the way following the runner-up finish at the previous tournament.
