Speaking to the media, as reported by OwnGoalNigeria, the 62-year-old coach explained that he has been in contact with former Nigeria coach, Gernot Rohr, who has offered him a few valuable insights on how to defeat the Super Eagles.
"For Libya, information is a bit scarce, but for Nigeria, we know them well, and they have many world-class players," Spittler said.
Expounding on his strategy to overcome the Super Eagles, the German tactician added:
"Yes, it’s true. I’ve consulted my friend Gernot Rohr on how to beat Nigeria. Every team wants to qualify, but I can't make any promises. My aim is to win every game in the qualifying phase, and if those victories take us to Morocco, we will be glad.
We’ve been performing well, and I hope we can get off to the perfect start with positive results against both Libya and Nigeria."
According to data from Fotmob, the Amavubi are winless in all seven of their previous encounters with Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
