Swaziland will host Nigeria in Russia 2018 world cup qualifiers on Friday and the coach has revealed that are not individually brilliant, but his side’s team effort will see them shock Nigeria.

The return leg of the encounter is at the Adokiye Amesimaka stadium in Port Harcourt on November 17th, to decide who moves to the third round of the world cup qualifiers.

“We are the underdogs (against Nigeria), we are just a small country trying to establish ourselves in football,” said Bulunga, who leads a country ranked 130th in the world.

“But we’re prepared as we have worked very hard and are now looking forward to the game.

“We don’t have stars, we believe in team work, we are a very united team, who have been together for a long time and we fight for each other and fight for the nation.

“We fight on the pitch to have a level playing ground. So, it will be the quality of Nigeria against the hard work we will all put in.

”We want to make a name for ourselves. We will play to our strengths.”
