Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong has praised Bafana Bafana but says Nigeria are confident they can get all three points when the two sides meet in a Fifa World Cup Group C qualifier at the Free State Stadium this evening.

"I think it will be a great game, we are looking forward to it, we are confident," Troost-Ekong told reporters as Nigeria landed at Bloemfontein Airport on Sunday.

"Bafana Bafana are a very good team," he added.

The Super Eagles do have a Betway Premiership player in their starting line-up. Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has been a mainstay in goal for Nigeria ever since he excelled for them at the last Africa Cup of Nations finals in the Ivory Coast.
