[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Zimbabwe's head coach Michael Nees has [boldly declared](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/health-and-fitness/ideye-eze-atule-doubtful-for-enyimba-clash-against-nasarawa-united/) that his team is capable of defeating the Super Eagles when both sides meet in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on March 25 in Uyo.

<br>Despite sitting at the bottom of Group C with just two points, Nees believes Nigeria is vulnerable and can be outplayed on home soil.
<br>
<br>"Like us, Nigeria have their back against the wall. They are like wounded lions who want to turn the page after a poor start to the qualifiers. It will be an exciting game, and Nigeria are beatable in Uyo," Nees said.
<br>
<br>The last encounter between both nations ended in a 1-1 draw in Rwanda in November 2023. Currently, Nigeria sits fifth in Group C with just three points from four matches, making this a must-win [fixture](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/michael-olise-explains-his-decision-to-choose-france-over-nigeria/) for the Super Eagles.
<br>
<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>Michael Nees’ comments should serve as a wake-up call for the Super Eagles. Nigeria has underperformed in the qualifiers, and any slip-up against Zimbabwe in Uyo would [severely damage](https://azbongda.com/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:KayleneMcNish) their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
<br>
<br>While Zimbabwe has nothing to lose, the pressure is firmly on Nigeria to deliver a convincing victory. The Super Eagles must show mental toughness, tactical discipline, and attacking efficiency to silence any doubts about their qualification hopes.

<br>With Eric Chelle taking charge for the first time, his squad selection and tactical approach will be under scrutiny. Can he inspire a turnaround, or will Zimbabwe capitalize on Nigeria’s struggles? The match in Uyo will provide the answer.
<br>
<br>Did You Know?
[Nigeria](https://azbongda.com/index.php/Th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn:Nathaniel3211) has not won a game in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, drawing three and losing one so far.
Zimbabwe has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup, making this campaign historic for them.
The last competitive match between Nigeria and Zimbabwe was in 2006, when [Nigeria](http://jacqueshigelin.com/index.php?title=User:VirginiaSly5) won 5-1 in an [AFCON qualifier](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-governance/super-eagles-promised-record-bonus-for-2026-world-cup-qualification/).
The Super Eagles have not lost a World Cup qualifier at home in over 40 years, making Uyo a fortress.
Eric Chelle will take charge of his first competitive match as Super in this game.
