Striker OdionIghalo has described their group as tricky, but is confident the Super Eagles will kick-start their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on a winning note when they face Burundi in their opening Group B game on Saturday. The Super Eagles have failed to win a game in their last two pre-tournament games after playing a goalless draw against Zimbabwe and losing 1-0 to Senegal. Despite the winless streak, the Shanghai Shenhua striker remains confident the Eagles attack will deliver at the tournament. “The group is tricky and it would be tough, but like I often say, no team are pushovers. If the goals come for me, I will take them well.”DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
