SUPER EAGLES BANK ON WEATHER FOR THEIR NEXT MATCH

The weather in Volgograd on Super Eagles match day against Iceland could be as high as a boiling 35 degrees centigrade, very much like Abuja heat in dry season  and Nigeria  Being used to the  heat, will be hoping that this will be an advantage for them on that day. 

It could also be a disadvantage for the foreign-based Super Eagles players. The lowest temperature on that day is put at 26 degrees. Friday’s match is a must-win for Nigeria if they are to still nurse the hope of moving past the first round stage of this World Cup. 

 Iceland have a point from the 1-1 draw with Argentina, but it is believed their disciplined and organized play may suffer because of the heat by the time the game kicks off 6pm local time. “The hot weather will be in our favour on Friday in Volgograd. “We hope that will affect Iceland and eventually give us the win we badly need to get our World Cup dream back on track", said a confident Eagles official.
