Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets will be wary of desperate Australia as they attempt to maintain their perfect run in the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup when the two teams clash in the last group game today.

Eaglets have already booked their place in the round of 16 following victories over Hungary and Ecuador but Australia, who have just point, are looking to progress with a victory over Nigeria as one of the best third placed teams.

Nigerian side has maintained their pre-tournament rating with incredible performance in their first two games where they came from behind to record emphatic victories over Hungary and Ecuador.

However, It is expected that the coach Manu Garbawould want to rest those stars that qualified the team to the next round in order to give other players a taste of the action against Australia.
