Super Eagles head Éric Chelle has urged his players to give their all in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.
Chelle's men were thrashed 3-0 by the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau in their last game.
The Super Eagles will now be eager to get their campaign back on track when they host the Taifa Stars in Uyo on Friday.
The two countries will also resume hostilities in a matchday four encounter at the Amman Stadium, Zanzibar next week Tuesday.
Chelle declared that his team cannot afford any slip-up in the two matches.
The Malian also said it is important for the team to banish the memory of the defeat against Guinea-Bissau.
"We must work hard in these two matches and do everything to win. It is important to sustain the hope and all the players are in that mood to banish the memory of that defeat to Guinea Bissau and show their true quality," Chelle told thenff.com.
