South African Under-17 national team coach, Steve Crowie, says he is wary of wounded Nigeria ahead of Group B match.
Amajimbos kicked off the tournament with a 2-0 defeat to Morocco before beating Zambia 3-2 in the second match.
Nigeria on the other hand, beat Zambia 1-0 in the opening match before losing 1-0 to Morocco.
“They played a very quality game in their last match and we know they will come in to this tie like a wounded animal,” Crowie told the media ahead of the final group match.
“They can be a very dangerous team and there is always quality in that side. It will be a fantastic game. Despite losing that game, I still think they had a lot of quality that should not be ignored.”
Nigeria sit in position two, behind Morocco and ahead of South Africa and draw will see Amajimbos progress, but only as one of the top two third placed teams.
“We want to concentrate on getting a result for ourselves and not having to depend on someone else. Our ultimate goal is to go into the match with an objective to win.
“We don’t care if Nigeria come spitting fire. We want our boys to spit more fire. Whoever wants it more will get it.”
