Baxter: Super Eagles v Bafana Bafana clash not another David v Goliath

South Africa coach Stuart Baxter believes Nigeria are the favourite to win the Saturday 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier clash against his side because of their superior individual players.

Baxter is confident his side can pull a shock win in Nigeria if they play as a unit because as good as the Eagles are the clash is not another David v Goliath clash

 

“We don’t have the big stars but we have a team. Every Africa nation faces the same problem but then the coaches try to balance the stars and others.

“We don’t have the big stars but we have a team. Every Africa nation faces the same problem but then the coaches try to balance the stars and others.

“We are not going to be defensive or careful because Nigeria has good players. We should not be intimidated by anybody. David had beaten Goliath but this is not a case of David and Goliath because there is no David and Goliath in this game.

“Nigeria is the favourite for this game but will South Africa be intimidated? No. Though the Super Eagles have more time to train that is the way it is.

“We are confident in the way we are approaching the game at the moment but the players know what to do together the job done. The players are hopeful ahead of the game but not intimidated.”
