Super Eagles striker Peter Utaka has predicted Nigeria will earn a first-ever victory over Argentina in June.<\/p>\n
Argentina and Nigeria have clashed twice at full international level with the South Americans winning both games 1-0, at the 2002 and 2010 World Cups.<\/p>\n
The Eagles will host Argentina complete with FIFA World Footballer of the year Lionel Messi on June 1 in Abuja and Utaka will stick out his neck for a Nigerian win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect a 2-1 victory in favour of the Super Eagles,\u201d two-goal hero against Ethiopia at the weekend Utaka told MTNFootball.com<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just need to prepare very well and work hard before and during the game to beat them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not scared of Argentina. We just have to be prepared. They are coming to our home so we don\u2019t need to be scared. We need to be relaxed and enjoy the game. We are the ones who have the fans behind us but they don\u2019t. We have the advantage since we are playing at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201dArgentina are solid team and every player in the team knows what to do. In a match like this you don\u2019t expect plenty goals like four goals because it is going to be tough and interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
The younger brother of France-based John Utaka would rate his burgeoning international career high.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am satisfied with my performances for the Super Eagles so far having scored four goals in four matches that played so far,\u201d he told MTNFootball.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I could still do better because every player wants to get better and as a striker you are never satisfied with the goals you have. You just want to continue to score goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
His target to ensure the Eagles fly over Group B leaders Guinea to qualify for next year\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n
After three rounds of matches, Guinea have seven points, a point ahead of the Eagles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have great hope that we will win our remaining matches which would be enough to fetch us the Nations Cup ticket irrespective of Guinea\u2019s results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Guineans are coming to Nigeria and if we beat them and our also win our remaining two away matches, we would be home and dry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
