2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Boboye warns Super Eagles ahead of Liberia clash

Going by the Fifa world rankings in August, Gernot Rohr's side are 116 places above their West African rivals

Akwa United manager Kennedy Boboye has advised Nigeria not to underestimate Liberia in Friday’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying encounter in Lagos.

The three-time African champions have previously played the Lone Stars 14 times across all competitions and they remain the dominant team with nine previous wins.

The last time Nigeria lost to Liberia was in July 2000 during a World Cup qualifying campaign, with ex-Arsenal star Christopher Wreh scoring their two goals as Sunday Oliseh grabbed a consolation for the visitors in Monrovia.
