Speaking on how the group will possibly shape out at the end of AFCON qualifiers, Spittler said the Super Eagles will remain at the top of the group.
“It’s a difficult group but in the end, Nigeria will win the group,” the German said.
He further predicted that the second position would be a straight fight between his team and Benin Republic.
“It will be Benin and us (Rwanda) who will fight for second place.” Spittler added.
