What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Coincidentally, both teams are in Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying group, and Benin Republic, led by former Nigeria coach, Genort Rohr, had beaten the Super Eagles in their first leg encounter played in Abidjan in June.

Ahead of the clashes, Ndidi and Iwobi spoke on the sidelines of their EPL meeting at Craven Cottage on Saturday, and they are both eager to see the Eagles get back on track.

“To be honest, it’s not where we want to be, so we have to regroup and correct some mistakes, then go all in those matches; we definitely need the win. They had their win in Abidjan; we see what happens in Uyo,” Leicester City midfielder Ndidi said via the Super Eagles X account.

Iwobi, who scored the winner for Fulham in their 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday, is also optimistic that the players will replicate their club forms in the Super Eagles.

“We have a lot to prove. I always say we have a lot of quality in the team, and hopefully we can get the points we need to qualify because it’s something we want to achieve,” Iwobi said.
