Rwanda skipper Djihad Bizimana insists his side will not be treated as second best when they face Nigeria in Uyo on Saturday in a crunch 2026 World Cup qualifier, Soccernet.ng reports .
Nigeria, three-time African champions and ranked 44th in the world, are heavy favourites on paper against Rwanda , who sit 127th. The Super Eagles also hold the head-to-head edge with three wins , four draws and just one defeat in eight meetings.
The last time the two nations met, Victor Osimhen struck twice in Kigali to give Nigeria a 2-0 victory in March. Yet Bizimana, who plays his club football with Al Ahli SC, believes those statistics count for little given the current standings.
