Nigeria coach Salisu Yusuf expects Ghana to come out guns blazing against his side on Sunday, September 24 in the final of the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations.
The ex-international believes the side which converts their scoring chances on the day will lift the trophy at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
The Super Eagles have the best defence in the tournament with no goal conceded in five matches and the coach wants to keep it that way.
“We have gone so far. We want to win and Ghana want to win and that is natural. The team that converts their chances will win,” said Yusuf.
“I know it's going to be a very tough game, but I'm optimistic that at the end of the day we will win.
“When it comes to the semifinal, final and quarterfinal, it is not about how many goals you score that matters, but how can you qualify - that's the most important thing.
“We score our goal and we defend properly, then we win.
“We have created so many scoring chances in this tournament, but we haven’t converted as many as we would like.
“Still, I'm very happy with the team.”
Nigeria will look to repeat their 2-0 win over Ghana in the group stages of the competition.
