Nigeria and South Africa will both be desperate to qualify for the AFCON U17 quarterfinals when they meet in a group B match on Saturday evening.Having both lost to Morocco and defeated Zambia, both sides will be keen on picking up maximum points that will help them secure the remaining quarterfinal berth, as Morocco have already gone through as group winners.##NAJAVA_MECA_7234424##Nigeria are second on the table by virtue of having a superior goal difference of 0 compared to South Africa’s -1, and a draw in that game will work in Nigeria’s favor. It is expected that both teams will fight to pick up maximum points.The two teams met in the 2015 edition, where South Africa picked up a 1-0 group-stage win.South Africa coach Duncan Crowie understands that he has a big task on his hands.”Nigeria was very unfortunate not to get a goal against Morocco. They are a quality team. So, it is going to be a very tough game. I will analyze deeply how Nigeria played in their last two games and plan on how to play against them,” he told SuperSport.On his part, Nigeria coach Nduka Ugbade wants to see a more clinical side after seeing his side throw away chances in the defeat to Morocco.”We must be more efficient with the chances we have. We will try to look for some different tactical ways tactically to impact the outcome of the game. We have a chance, but also, that chance can also fade away. We have to work hard,” he said.In the other group B match, Morocco will play the already-outed Zambia in what’s more of a formality clash.Both games kick off at 10pm EAT.FKF commences trials for National U18 team ahead of CECAFA Championship
