Afcon 2019: 'We need to create more chances' - Mutiu Adepoju charges Nigeria ahead of Tunisia clash

Ahead of Wednesday's Africa Cup of Nations third/fourth-place playoff, former Nigeria international Mutiu Adepoju has advised the side to create more goalscoring opportunities against Tunisia.

Gernot Rohr's men have scored eight goals so far in Egypt but Adepoju wants them to play a more attacking brand of football against Alain Giresse's side.

The three-time African champions struggled to create scoring chances against Algeria in their semi-final outing on Sunday, with Odion Ighalo scoring their only goal from the penalty spot.

"For the team's ability to bounce back from Algeria's loss will depend on the capacity of the psychologists in the team, it's a big blow," Adepoju told Goal.
