Guinea-Bissau head coach, Baciro Cande says his side will put up a good showing against Nigeria.

The Djurtus have a slim chance of progressing to the group stage in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, after losing their opening two games of the competition.

Cande’s side occupy bottom spot in Group A with zero point.

Guinea-Bissau are also yet to win a game in the history of the AFCON.

The gaffer said his players are highly motivated for the game and will go all out for a win.

“We are excited to play a good match tomorrow,” he told reporters in Abidjan.
