Egypt head coach, Hector Cuper, says his side will go all out for a win in Tuesday's clash against Nigeria, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.
The Pharaohs held the Super Eagles to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Friday.
A win in the return fixture at the Borg El- Arab Stadium, Alexandria will almost guarantee qualification for the seven-time African champions who have failed to qualify for the last three editions of AFCON.
And the former Inter Milan and Valencia coach is looking forward to his side picking maximum points against the Super Eagles.
"We will have an attacking approach and we aim to create more goalscoring opportunities," Cuper said in a televised interview in Alexandria.
"We have one target against Nigeria which is achieving victory. All the players are ready and the atmosphere will be different from the first match."
The Argentine also said he is not concerned about Chad's withdrawal from the qualifying series .
"We don't care whether Chad have withdrawn. We focus only on achieving victory against Nigeria."
Following Chad's withdrawal and the cancellation of their results, a win for Egypt would give the Pharaohs seven points to Nigeria's two.
Tanzania have one point with two games left for them, away to Nigeria and home to Egypt.
