The hosts come into this game with a form of three-match losing streak on home soil, while the former African champions are keen on making it two wins at a bounce having piped Mali 1-0 on Friday in Rouen.
“We are well prepared to face Luxembourg and anything aside from a win will not be acceptable.”
"Tuesday’s game will have more of an impact in the team than our win over Mali. The spirit in camp is high and our boys are ready for the challenge ahead.
“In our win against Mali, we noted some mistakes and they have been corrected.
“We know what we have to do to beat them and we have to show the quality to get the much needed result away from home.”
When asked about his starting XI for the Josy Barthel Stadium match, Boboye stated that the technical crew had not settled on team selection but will definitely assemble the best legs.
“The technical crew is yet to decide who starts the game or who would begin from the bench.
“But I am sure the best players will be paraded because anything short of victory will not be okay.”
Like Luxembourg, Nigeria will return to the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in September. Should Salisu Yusuf’s ward triumph at Josy Barthel, it would be the Eagles’ third victory from seven games in 2016. A win against the Super Eagles would help boost their confidence ahead their World Cup qualifier against Latvia in September. The hosts last won a game in November 2015 when they defeated Greece 1-0 in a friendly match with AurĂ©lien Joachim getting the lone strike.
