“I expect a very tough encounter, in which the Algerians are very good and they are going to come all out to get the three points but I believe our players are capable of seeing them off if they play well,” Adepoju said.
“I expect a win for us and an interesting game. I expect a good team performance from the boys, with a very tight and co-ordinated defence.”
