Nigeria v Ethiopia ..Your Predictions......

Nigeria will be looking to book their place at the 2014 World Cup finals when they host Ethiopia in their final qualifying play-off clash on Saturday.

The two sides lock horns in the southern coastal city of Calabar, with the Super Eagles looking to make the most of the 2-1 advantage they secured in the first leg in Addis Ababa last month.

A 2-0 win for Ethiopia would see them through as 3-2 aggregate winners, while a 2-1 win for the east Africans would result in the tie being decided by penalties.

The Walia Antelopes certainly have what it takes to score goals, and there has been some good news for the side in that both of their top strikers, Getaneh Kebede and Saladin Said, are available to play this weekend.

It has been an amazing run for the Ethiopians, who are going from strength to strength as a footballing nation, but it is going to take a performance of extraordinary proportions to beat a Nigerian side packed with quality players.

Coach Sewnet Bishaw, however, remains optimistic that his men can beat the odds stacked against them.

"In the very beginning we set ourselves a goal, which was to qualify for the African Cup of Nations and the World Cup," he told FIFA's official website.

"To achieve that goal we have had to work very hard and that was our plan. We are training every day and night to achieve our goal. We have 90 minutes more, and we will fight to the maximum. And I am confident we will qualify."

Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi, meanwhile, has the luxury of being able to select his players from some of the world's top league.

Although Real Betis midfielder Nosa Igiebor and Uche Nwofor (Heerenveen, Holland) have had to pull out of the squad through injury, Keshi has been able to call on the likes of Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo, Gabriel Reuben from Kilmarnock in Scotland, as well as US-based striker Bright Dike.
