The Southern Africans defeated Burundi 4-2 in the first game while the Super Falcons lost to the Banyana Banyana 2-1 in their opening match.

The Super Falcons received flaks across the country for their underwhelming performance and have vowed to bounce back against Botswana to put their qualification chances in motion.

Arguably the best team in Africa, the Super Falcons will look to impose their presence on the courageous and confident Botswanans on Thursday evening.

The Nigerians will however be without star player, Asisat Oshoala but will aim to regroup and forge for better fortunes in the competition.

Football however never respects ranks.

Nigeria will be without star forward, Oshoala in the game and for the rest of the competition after sustaining a medial ligament damage in her knee.

She has been flown to her club Barcelona for further checks.

Unperturbed by the miss of her Star forward, American coach, Randy Waldrum has said it’s a must-win game and they’re ready for it.

“We are definitely going to make some changes from our first game. The atmosphere in camp is good and we have regrouped. We want to win our next game,” the American told the media.

“After the loss, we spent time with the players and regrouped and we are ready for this game. We are ready to get the job done.”

Potential XI for Super Falcons: Nnadozie; Ebi; Plumptre; Alozie; Ogbonna; Otu; Ucheibe; Toni Payne; Ordega; Ajibade; Onumonu
