Super Eagles interim head coach, Finidi George hopes for aconsecutive victory with the team, after the Super Eagles scraped past eternal rivals Ghana 2-1 last weekend.

The three-time African champions will be up against the Eagles of Mali in their second friendly at the Grand Stade de Marrakech on Tuesday.

The Super Eagles will be without Frank Onyeka and Calvin Bassey for the game.

Finidi however said they can’t afford to dwell too much on the absence of the players.

“We cannot at this time be dwelling on the injuries and absences that we have to cope with. Our intention has always been to win these two matches and then look forward to the World Cup qualifiers in June,” Finidi told the media.

” We are determined to keep up the momentum and sustain the winning mentality derived from beating the Black Stars.”
