2024 CHANQ: History Not Kind To Us Against Ghana –Ogunmodede

Home-based Super Eagles coach Daniel Ogunmodede says history has not been good to Nigeria when they face rivals Ghana.

The home-based Eagles will host the Black Galaxies of Ghana in Uyo on Sunday in the play-off of the CHAN qualifier.

In the first leg played in Accra at the weekend, the home-based Eagles held the Black Galaxies to a 0-0 draw.

A score draw would be enough for the Ghanaians to advance while the home-based Eagles need an outright win to qualify for the 2024 CHAN.

Speaking ahead of the crucial encounter, Ogunmodede said they are not bothered about what has happened in previous encounters.

“We know history is not good to us with this country (Ghana) so we’ve decided not to pay attention to what history has done to us, we are focused on the present and what the future holds for us,” he said on NFF TV.

“We know how important it is to qualify, we have good future for ourselves, players, coaches, the country and coming generation.”

The Black Galaxies edged the home-based Eagles on penalties to qualify for the 2022 CHAN edition.

Sunday’s clash brings to mind the qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup between Ghana’s Black Stars and the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

After a goalless draw in the first leg of the play-off in Kumasi, the reverse fixture in Abuja ended 1-1, which earned Ghana qualification for the 2022 World Cup.
