Super Falcons defender, Michelle Alozie has predicted a tough contest in the round of 16 tie against the three Lionesses of England.
Super Falcons will trade tackles with the Three Lionesses at the Lang Park, Brisbane on Monday.
England have an hundred percent record so far in the competition with three wins from three games.
The European champions have been tipped as one of the favourites to win the competition after the exit of Germany and Brazil.
However, the US based Nigerian player has now said that the Super Falcons are aware of the threat England pose and will not relent in giving their best.
“It’s going to be a hard game, we’ve had hard games just like this, starting with Canada, so we expect nothing less,” the right-back said in a short video interview posted on the Super Falcons Twitter handle.
“It is obviously a knockout round, we are ready to put up a battle and we expect a battle from them and we will give them everything we have.”
Nigeria , South Africa and Morocco all progressed to the second round of the ongoing FIFA World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
