Georges LeekensThe Greens’ gaffer has set his eyes on a good result by holding the Super Eagles to a draw when both sides lock horns this weekend.

Georges Leekens and one of his assistant.

Algeria head coach Georges Leekens is focused on getting at least a point in Saturday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.

Leekens who is set to lead the Greens for their first competitive game under his watch, in his second stint believes that his ambitious team can get the job done in Uyo but still opines that a draw against the Super Eagles will be a better result for an away fixture.

“We’ve not been too pleased with the last performance. The team is desperate to catch up and make up ground, ” Leekens told allnigeriasoccer.com .

“This game is a chance to get our qualification hope on track. I have got a lot of good characters about the place – don’t worry about that.

“This is a great group of lads to work with. I never go to bed thinking someone is going to let me down and someone isn’t going to give me 100 percent.

“My players are intelligent enough to understand the fixture. The importance of the game is understood.

“It’s a massive game in terms of our impact on the group. We’re still involved, it is still quite tight. It’s a must-win.

“The group is still all to play for and a point would be a decent result for us, especially with games to come at home.

“We’ve come with a game plan to try and win and if we can get a result we’re still involved with big games coming up in 2017.”
